Hi,
I'm new to all this and had never heard of a fissure before until today. My partner started getting bad pains in her stomach 7 years ago. Her pain mainly started by having really bad periods, so bad that she couldn't leave the house. Time went by and she got worse and the doctors well they didn't really know what it was. She was like that for a few years until things got even more worse and she began to say that she feels as though something is cutting her in the back passage, she would cry in pain and I felt so helpless. The doctors did many scans and also operations but still found nothing instead they said that she has a lot of gas in her stomach. About 2 years ago after trying different hospitals we gave it another go and went to St Heliers hospital, within this time she had taken lots of different medication and been given lots of different creams to apply in the back passage. Going there was probably the best thing that happened because they found out that she has a Fissure which is causing her a lot of pain. The bad thing was that she didn't only have 1 but had 3 Fissures. She went through surgery but the fissures didn't heal. Two months ago she went through another surgery but again it doesn't look like its healed. She's on her period right now and has gone through hell, she has also had blood come out from the back passage. I am so worried and don't know what to do I get angry and frustrated with myself because apart from showing her that I'm there and I'm not going anywhere I can't do anything else. Please if anyone knows what to do then please help me
