I'm not sure what I'm dealing with here, but when I have a BM, I can feel it rip and then there is a lot of blood on the tp and in the toilet. Enough that it could be mistaken for a heavy period flow. The bleeding stops after I wipe (normally the second wipe is clear even though the first has the tp covered).
My BM's are extremely painful due to the tearing sensation. I have taken a look and noticed that I have an area of swollen tissue, and I can see the a small open wound on it. Does this sound like a fissure, hemorrhoid or something else? The amount of blood is directly related to the amount of pain I feel during the BM.
This has been going on, on and off, for a few months now, but has only recently gotten much worse (with the increased bleeding and extreme pain).
After the BM, I will have an hour or so of burning pain and then everything feels fine until my next BM.
I don't even know where to start with this... would my gynecologist be able to give me a diagnosis?
