My very first post here and I have a question about fissures.
I have had fissures for about40 years (the first bleeding) on and off.
I have had 2 colonoscopies and the doctor said it was a fissure.
The only concern (so far) for me is that I do get a fair amount of blood (more than a couple of drops), but I ONLY get the bleeding when I am very tired.
I am (will be )60 in November 2014, I used to smoke (last puff was 10/10/10 RAY!!!!), and I drink coffee.
Usually a day or two after I get rest, the bleeding stops, but right now I am in class for my job and it is rather stressful and there is alot of travel (about 100 miles a day).
I haven't suffered any pain/nausea/other symptoms so far, although I have in the past and mostly nausea.
Is this something that I should see a doctor about, or is there a danger of this blood loss that will make things worse?
(kind of obvious I know, but I just started this job and insurance and scheduling is very difficult).
Is more info needed about this?
