Hello all,
I am a 26 YO male, and just found out that I had an anal fissure. The pain started 5 years ago, and I had what I thought was frequent urination so I was being seen by urologists all these years to no avail. I started to monitor my habits through all of this and found that this pain in my butt and frequent urination happened primarily after a bowel movement, so I made an appointment recently with CRS nurse practitioner, who is great and she said that I have an anal fissure. I am using the lido cream right now but I think it is actually hurting rather than helping. I have an appointment for a fissurectomy in a few weeks, and I really hope I can just be done with this. Thank you for listening, I am really glad I found this forum
Mike
