Hi skkb,
As a long term hemorrhoids internally and externally on and off for about 15 years and two years of fissure.
Can I ask does it bleed when you poop?
Do you have pain when you poop?
Do you have pain though out the day?
With a fissure or hemorrhoids bleeding can happen when you poop, it should be a bright red colour. It can be on the paper as you wipe or along one side of your poop. You might see some in the toilet bowl. I have been known to fart blood and I’ve had a strange little feeling in my ass, check my underwear and blood on it. My doctor tells me this is all normal for me with my problems.
A fissure is very painful “like pooping glass” horrendous when you poop. Pain only for a couple of hours after you pooped, my was all day.
External hemorrhoids you can feel a painful pea like size outside your anus.
Internal hemorrhoids can give you pain all day as well as external hemorrhoids.
After two years off a fissure that wouldn’t heal, and surgeon who refused to do Botox or a operation, I was told learn to live with it. I decided I’ll had nothing to loose and tried a American product call Pranicara, and it heal my fissure and I’m more comfortable again, I also have a post in the private member’s on this forum called “Piles, Fissure and anything to do with a sore ass” that I’ve started each might be interesting for you.
