In 20 years ive had a couple of fissures, also an external Pile once.
In November 2009 the last fissure went on and off for about 6 weeks. I used creams etc. and eventually it healed up.
In December 2010. one day I felt that awful glass cutting pain again.I'd been tense the day before and not been to toilet so was straining a bit :roll: I thought oh no not again.. I treated with cream and 2 small bumps came up in the sore area. After a few days the bumps disappeared but was left with a small skin tag .
The fissure has got better and then if ive been tense ( suffer anxiety), its re opened and ive had to treat it again.
It had calmed down nicely in January this year until anxiety tensed me up too much for toilet and again there was some blood on tissue,or along side of stool..Everthing else looks perfectly normal other than that.
I wonder if long term sufferers could help me out with couple of questions?...Can these fissures bleed even without the severe cutting pain being present ? just discomfort....and also, on 2 occassions when using moist toilet wipe before applying cream there has been a pinprick of blood on tissue even an hour after BM.
I have a blood phobia which doesnt help at all with this condition !
I did put a bit of pressure on the tissue though, did I press too hard on a vein or something ?
