Hey everyone. I was diagnosed with a fissure about 10 days ago... what a nightmare!!!! Been taking a fibre supplement, lots of water, lots of fruit and veg and luckily I work from home so I've been sitting on a hot water bottle and taking a couple of hot baths during the day. Things seem to be getting a *little* bit less intense down there as of today... I think..
So I have a weird thing going on that I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced.Besides the discomfort of having a BM I'm also struggling to pee! I'm peeing a lot more than normal because of all the water I'm drinking and my bladder permanently feels a bit uncomfortable because of it. When I sit down it takes aaaages to relax enough to pee and when I do it comes in stops and starts and I often feel like I haven't got everything out properly. I'm pretty sure it's not a UTI (no other symptoms that might point to that... seriously... I hope!) Anyone have any thoughts? Is it just part of all the muscles down there spasming and generally behaving strangely?
