I've seen 3 doctors in 2 days that have diagnosed me with "probably" an anal fissure. None have actually seen it due to blood/inability to "relax" the anus enough. I have extreme bleeding and pain during bowel movements, including blood clots. From what I've been reading here, that much blood *doesn't* seem all that common with an anal fissure. One doctor thought it seemed so bad he sent me straight to a surgeon. The surgeon told me to take laxatives and pain killers and it'll go away on it's own. Only, it's getting progressively worse (which I told him). It started with just bleeding, then much more bleeding, then pain.
Has anyone here had a similar experience? I think you guys are better informed than my doctors.
