Hello There,
okay so I'm a 20 year old male, and I feel like I've been suffering from anal fissures for literally years now. I'm from the UK btw. I went to see the doctor last year about it, a couple of times. I did the usual 'I'm here for something else, but there's also this problem' because I was embarrassed and scared. The first time it was a nurse who was nice but just said the usual eat better and it should clear up if not come back, something I had been doing for ages and it hadn't worked. So I went back and this time saw the main doctor who inspected me (big step for me, I was really worried about this) just just took a quick look and dismissed as a cut and said eat better and gave me some generic cream. Since that year it's been on and off... it heals a bit when I'm super good at eating well, but a few mistakes and it'll reopen ever month or so? It can be really painful usually hours after a BM.
I'm just lost what to do... I feel like because I'm young and otherwise healthy, the doctors just shrug me off... I feel like this is seriously effecting my life, more my attitude... I don't want to go out when it's bad, no motivation to do anything.
I'm also bisexual, and people can usually tell. But I've honestly never had anal sex and I feel like the doctors might just think it's that causing it and dismiss it... when It's 100% not.
need a little bit of help to be honest :(
