Hey,
For the past few months, I have been having very painful bowel movements. Sometimes there is blood on the toilet paper. It gets cured after few weeks and then the cycle starts again. So I went for a colonoscopy today and my GP told me I have few small hemorrhoids and anal fissure. Im guessing since this has been happening for past few months, its chronic fissure. He also told me my anus muscles were really right. It was very painful even when put in the scope(Yes, I didn't get anesthesia...very bad idea). He recommended High Fiber diet and Colace along with Miralax. I tried this diet but doesn't help much. So I wanted to know what should be my next step. I asked about surgery but he said it'll be painful since they have to cut open a muscle in my anus. Im afraid, my fissure will heal for now but will return later on just like it has been. It gets very painful to the point where I don't feel like going to the bathroom sometimes. I have bowel movements everyday so its not like Im getting constipated. So I wanted to know your opinion on what I should do next. Any advice would greatly appreciate it.
