Hey Everyone,
It's nice to see that people with the same problem are here to help eachother out. I see that many people on here have troubles getting rid of their fissure and it puts my life, and life as a whole, into perspective. I'm sure any such a problem would do that for anyone.
My name is Adam, I'm a 27 year old man from Canada, and found out I had a fissure about 12 days ago. 19 days ago, I had anal sex for the first time and couldn't bear it for longer than 3 minutes. A week went by with no problems, pains, aches or anything of the sort. But after that, my bowel movement was excrutiating.
I work in a fast-paced contruction industry and ever since i started 8 years ago, I've been holding in my bowel movements until the end of the day when I get home, and all was well. But I think that, plus the anal sex was not a good combination.
A week of pain went by, and I fought through it, going to work everyday, and even took up the habit of going to the washroom when I need to. At the end of the week I took the day off to see my family doctor (because she's only available in the mornings). She gave me anusol. That was last week.
I'll keep everyone updated on major improvements/failures of my fissure with the types of remedies and strageties I use.
Sorry if my post was a bit vulgar
Adam
