Hi Everyone!
im 19 and I have been suffering from fissures for about 3 years. My first fissure happened when i was 17, junior in high school. i had no idea what it was so i did some online research and of course went through the "if i just don't poop, ill be fine" fase. my first fissure i really only had for about a week, i spent most of that avoiding bathrooms at all cost until finally i couldn't anymore and when i went it was painless! i didn't experience another fissure until my senior year this one way more serious, i ended up becoming so compacted i had to go to the emergency room and have them painfully go in and "remove" some of the impaction...with their hands. since then i have been suffering on and off none that bad until now. i have been suffering from constipation this entire week and i am the type of person that once it starts, no laxative or anything will help. i have a pretty solid routine of taking magnesium citrate so break everything up so that i CAN go and then getting back on track from there but i am terrified that this situation is abit more serious
after my last BM i went to clean the area and i could clearly see the tear and it was not small at.all. i have never really gotten up close and personal with any of my other fissures so i don't know if its normal to see pink or should i be freaking out and running to the emergency room.
woo...that was long but im freaking out!!!
