Hi everyone, I just joined this forum because my anal fissure is giving me quite a lot of trouble. I'm 19, female, and have had the fissure for almost two weeks. I went to the doctor already and he told me to heal it on my own and come back in three weeks if I wasn't satisfied. Three weeks of pain!
Anyways, my question is that my pain is lessening after each bowel movement but the blood is still very present each time. Can I be healing even though there is blood?
I take two stool softeners daily, lots of water, and 4 sitz baths for pain (they are the only thing that helps) I know Advil will help but I'm scared it will constipate me. I feel like I'm getting nowhere because I'm having a BM everyday! (There goes the healing )
One more question. I developed a skin tag? After about one week in. Does this mean my fissure is/will be chronic? It's grown quite a lot. And frankly, it kind of grosses me out!
Thank you so much for reading this and any help you can give!
