Hey everyone,
I had been diagnosed with internal hemorrhoids and a fissure by a proctologist. I'm 25 and it was diagnosed at the end of August. I realized the blood and slight pain beginning in early July. Well he gave me anusol suppositories and cream to apply. He also used an infrared coagulator to stop the bleeding during the visit. I have also been taking Metamucil. He claims the fissure is about 1/4 inch long.
Well over time, the bleeding decreased during my daily BM to the point where I really had to look closely when I wiped to even see it. However, yesterday I had a BM in the morning that was :(. I did have to push a bit compared to my usual but everything came out feeling good. To my surprise, when I wiped, there was bright red blood. I noticed it on the stool as well. It wasn't streaked across the stool, but more saturated in one spot. And I even noticed some blood splatter on the toilet bowl. How does that happen? Did it squirt? If so, does that mean it's near my anus?
Anyways, its so disappointing to see reverse progress. There was less blood today because I kept my BM short. But will this never fully heal or retear so easily? I've had way harder BM a year ago and no issues what so ever.
