Hi~
I have been diagnosed with a fissure by two doctors. One did a sigmoidoscopy and saw it.... but I have never bled....Well, I have taken two soaky baths today with chamomile salts.... and when I drained the tub... there was blood in it-- both times.
Is this normal?
What can I do to stop it? I have tucks suppositories and have been using nitro-gel... but the nitro-gel kinda burns my intestines.... is this normal? My GI doc won't see me anymore and said my family doc would have to handle it... and she won't give me that compounded ointment that you all talk about b/c she has never heard of it.
So, what I want to know is.... is the bleeding normal (I have had this fissure about five mos /w no bleeding)
and is it normal for nitro-gel to burn your backside?
PLEASE HELP
