From the start of my pregnancy, I got this
anal fissure. I was constipated, and
insisted on pushing the caca out, so it
ended up tearing my butt hole.
Anyways...every time I take a crap I
re-tear the tear i have in my anus. nice
eh??
unless i give myself laxatives steady,
so that it is diaherra, my hole will tear,
and it is very painful. I have gone to my
doc, and he said eventually it will
heal....and it has a couple times, but as
soon as i have a good crap...it starts all
over agian.
it happened this morning, and my hole is
just throbbing right now....like a
headache that won't let up.... I can't
get depended upon laxitives becasue it
isn't solving the problem..... aarrghhh

I really don't know what to do about that.
Perhaps get a second opinion from another
doctor and say "LOOK! My quality of life
is suffering here! Sew me up!"

Might be less painful than the fissure
though.

I completely understand where you're
coming from. I too got an anal fissure
when I became pregnant. My daughter is 11
months old now, and it still tears every
time I have a bowel movement. I've gone to
several doctors and none of them have been
able to give me any relief. Laxatives make
me feel horrible and they don't even work!
I'm just as frustrated as you are! Let me
know if you figure it out!

the thing is with laxatives that they are
not a good long term solution. although
they might make you nice and regular for a
day, in the long term they make the
situation worse cos the day you stop
taking them your poo will start building
up and you will find they actually CAUSE
constipation.
say on monday morning you take laxatives,
then all monday you will be pooing fine
but by tuesday you will be constipated.
trust me i used to take them all the time
when i was younger and it just messes up
your poo cycle! i think the best way to
help the fistula heal is ensure you are
eating a good high fibre diet so your
stools are nice and soft and you are
regular. that means a big portion of
vegetables with every meal, use brown
bread instead of white, eat fruit, drink
lots of water etc.
i would stop taking laxatives for this
problem cos they they should only be used
really occasionally if you have to.
