I have the same problem around my period. There's water retention and extra blood flow to that general area. Lately, though, it seems like PMS aggravates it more than having my period. I think it's the water retention and stress that irritates it the most. Hormonal fluctuations really do a number on me, even on birth control pills.
Water retention, extra blood flow, change in bowel habits, crying fits, getting angry for stupid reasons... sometimes I hate being a woman. -_- It's even worse when you have a fissure.
January 2013 - Diagnosed with fissure. Eventually turned chronic.
History of IBS and anxiety disorder, along with fear of using bathrooms other than my own caused it.
Tried Diltiazem, but eventually developed a rash.
LIS surgery scheduled August 26th.
