sooo I'll start off by telling you all about myself....I'm 23 years old, female, & I'm pretty sure I have an anal fissure
& it sucks! I've had it for like a little over a month. I haven't told anyone about my problem, it's gross & embarrassing. I feel ashamed :( anyway I'm pretty sure this was caused by being constipated & pushing to hard. I hate taking shits now, bc it's really painful & theres blood on the toilet paper & it freaks me out. taking a shit is suppose to be natural & relieving but it's NOT that way for me! I'm scared to go lol I haven't seen a doctor & don't want to go yet unless it gets worse... I'm looking for tips on how to get rid of this damn embarrassing problem! I'm taking fiber choice chewables, stool softeners, drinking more water than usual, & sometimes sitz baths. is there anything else I should be doing?! i just want to be normal I'm tired of freaking out over taking a dump & my asshole to be sore afterwards!
