Anal fissure? or Piles? sorry if tmi!!

[xnicolaxcx]

this might be TMI but i think i mite have piles or a fissure? (sp?)
im in agony when i go for a number 2
it feels like i am passing a razor blade.....and i have blood on the tissue when i wipe
when iv done. i have to sit in the bath for about an hour after cus i feel like sum1s kicked me up the bum with a stiletto!
my mum said it is probely a fissure and she had one when she had us.
has anyone else had one and what helps?
i have taken lactolose (sp?) but it still really hurts

i suffered with these soo bad, i feel for you, i had to sit in the bath too. put salt and some lavender oil in the bath.

i dont know if lactulose does much as i had diareah (sp) and still got more fissures

worst thing to do, is being scared of going for #2 as u tense and cause your muslce to spasm and can make the fissures alot worse. they do heal but take time. have u been to dr? i tried cream for piles as it numbs it a bit and helps heal it.

i think getting more fissures is my biggest fear with giving birth again. mine left bad scars too

i suffer terrible with this (STILL) sinse hannah.
Ive just hoped it'll go away... no such luck yet.
My mum was a nurse (retierd now) and it isnt anything serious to worry about.

Tho i seriously feel your pain. This may sound completly daft, but somthing i do recently to help 'go' is use your hand to 'push' your bumhole towards your front bits. (so your hand is between your butcheeks) This movment stretches your bum to make things pass easier. (my mum told me to do this - it might give time for the fissure to heal) - it deffinatly helpt me anyway.



cant beleive i just wrote all that.

hehehehe that sounded funny. i know what u mean though, we used to have to do that to the elderly in the geratric ward

i had to poo in a bowl of water yesterday i think it helped a bit.
just as my foof stops hurting from giving birth this happens! tut typical!

Get some suppositories. If you don't want to go to the Doctors then you can buy them at the Chemist or the Supermarket. I had piles after having Jake which were soooo painful. I eventually bought some suppositories and the pain was gone within a couple of weeks. It is worth inserting them with some lubricant or piles cream so that they go in easier

I get bad piles, so I know what you are going through. I had a really bad bout recently as I was constipated. Like Rachel said, I found holding a piece of tissue against the offending haemorroid (sp) can help. I now eat bran for breakfast and eat plenty of fruit everyday, drink plenty of water and take lactulose if it flares up again. I also use suppositires. I never thought I would have dared put one of them up my bum but it is amazing what you will do when you are desperate isnt it!
