hey guys, I have been diagnosed in the past with having a fissure. It seems like it is back in full effect now, as I have blood and pain/discomfort with I have a bowel movement. In the past I used Nitro which worked for a bit, but it never fully healed. My question is, how do I know if it's a fissure or a Hemorrhoid? My bowel movements aren't too painful, but are very very itchy/stingy/discomforting. And that itch/sting/discomfort will last for hours, lately the entire day! I get blood with I have a bowel movement also. I'm thinking I may have an internal hemorrhoid, since I get such an extreme itch, usually fissures are painful, but no itch. Anyways if anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.
