I read on here that hair can cause piles or something. I have a hairy butt. Should I get laser hair removal? Is laser hair removal safe around anus? My fissure is finally healing. Am I just paranoid? I don't want a hairy butt anyway. Is laser safe down there?

oh my

Hi Delasama!
Don't know much about laser hair removal on the butt but I doubt the hair's going to truly have any effect on your fissure! It's people with pilonidal issues (sinus', cysts etc.) that are generally advised to shave down there as it's thought hairs can pierce the skin causing "holes" & little tunnels, which can become infected. It's generally external on the cleft of the buttocks, so a totally different issue to a fissure. Hair definitely does NOT cause piles!!
I think maybe a little paranoia setting in there??? but I'm sure if you want a hair-free butt and seriously look into the procedure, you'll be just fine!!! Sorry, I did have to laugh a little at your post!! My partner has a monster of a hairy butt (and he's not got piles!!)

I am very hairy also back there. The last post is correct, it can cause a cysts which is what happened to me and I had to have it surgiucally removed.
Hair around the anus will however cause you to have to wipe many more times than the average non hairy person. Wiping more often can = irritated hemmoroids. I have learned to wash after a BM to take care of this.
You can also shave down there but the 1st few times prepare for some feirce itching and razor stubble. If you do decide to shave use deodeorant on the sides of your cheeks it will stop razor burn.

Being female, I don't have much hair on my butt, but I used to shave in that area. Since the fissure, though, I don't dare to go near that area with anything sharp. Yikes! I'll live with a little butt hair, thanks. Plus, shaving makes it all itchy and uncomfortable and I'm uncomfortable enough as it is with the fissure.
I really don't think butt hair can cause piles. But I could be wrong. I think you should just relax, delasama. Your fissure is healing and you're feeling a lot better, so that should be something, right? : ) Stress just exacerbates things.
