Hi, I'm new to this board and am experiencing a painful anal fissure for the first time, and I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this on top of a prolapsing internal hemorrhoid (stage 3). The tear is on a prolapsing hemorrhoid that comes out with each bowel movement, so I can plainly see the open wound. I am concerned it will never be able to heal because I have to constantly exert pressure on it to push the internal hemorrhoid back in. The pain brings me to tears and I feel as though I may faint during a BM.
Over the past 3 days, even though my stools have become softer and more regular (taking Metamucil), the hemorrhoids are getting harder to push back in, and the longer it takes, the more swollen they get. Has anyone had a wound heal on a prolapsing hemorrhoid before, or does this require surgical intervention to stop the blood supply?
Please help me!
