Hi friends,
I understand that many of you have been suffering with this and I can understand the pain which all of us are going through.
I want to tell my story to you all. It all began in March 2010. Till then, I did not know what fissures or hemorrhoids are. One morning during my bowel movement, I experienced a feeling as if some cut was there. I thought it would go away. When it did not go for a week, I saw a doctor who gave some stool softeners and an ointment. It got better. On other people suggestions I started taking Metamucil too. One thing which I have noticed is, taking Metamucil results in large thick stools which make it worse for me. My situation kept getting worse. I started applying diltiazem which would heal the fissure but again after 15 days, I would get it again. After five months of constant pain, I went for LIS. recovering from LIS was very easy for me. Pain was there for a day or 2 but then it was normal. Only thing is, I could never stop taking the stool softener. After 3 months of LIS, the fissure returned again, I do not why. Since then till Jan this month(for a period of 1 year nearly), it kept coming and going but was nowhere as painful as the initial one.I was so scared of fissure that I kept postponing my plans for baby. 15 days back, I decided I will stop taking stool softeners and start Metamucil The same thing happened, a large stool although soft tore my fissure open and its as bad as the first time. I do not know what to do. I am 35 and I want a baby. Its getting late for me. Please suggest what should I do? Shall I go for LIS again as suggested by my doctor? I am very very SAD...
