I have started a stickied thread for all newcomers or lurkers who just want to read and get info on their anal fissure. Sticky means it will always be here at the top.

Hopefully this will help prevent the creation of threads that cover topics that are already scattered all over the board. Please, boardies, chime in and add info here, whatever you can think of that will help a ne...

My OB/GYN did a rectal exam last week and said she felt a mass but wasn't sure whether it was stool she was feeling or what. She didn't want to alarm me but that I should book my colonoscopy ASAP. She wanted to make it that day with the same doc. that I had 5 years ago. But you just do the prep - go that day to the hospital and just see the doc. for 5 min. and then he sends you a letter in the ...

Was wondering if after you've had an anal fissure how diffcult a rectal exam was for you? Meaning we're they painful and make you sore afterward.

I remember my OB/GYN doing the occult rectal test and then being very sore for a few days afterwards because of the irritation.

and also even after your fissure has healed and your diet has improved along with keeping BM'...

Hey pals and gals,

I am going to start my camp counselor job on monday, which will involve a lot of running around and activity. I know that I am going to be sweating a lot all over, and I was wondering how you all control the moisture situation down there. Normally, if I am just walking around or doing a lot of sitting, I put a soft tissue or a cotton ball down there, but with ...

I go off nifedipine for a week and my fissure starts hurting! I have no spasms or blood but it feels raw down there if I go off my ointment! I have had this fissure for 4 years almost! My last visit to the specialist was 2 weeks ago and he said it was healed! Why would it still feel raw if the fissure was healed? I am confused, I wish he could take a picture of the fissure and show me so I could s...

Well folks,

I am pretty sure that I have developed another fissure. This time, instead of being at 9 o clock, like my old one was, this one is at around 5 o clock. So this time, I am going back to my CRS sooner rather than later (though I admit, I have been avoiding it a little) to see how bad it is and hopefully I will be able to get some sort of treatment besides surgery for it...

Hi!

Well, i hate to say it, but i had a very OFF diet day today. We had a BBQ and I didnt even get a chance to have breakfast this morning. I am thinking of taking some MOM tonight but I don't know how much to take. I took 2 tsp once, and that really had me down to liquid bm's but I had also taken a lot of fiber that day too. I also tried just 1 and that helped but not as much ...
