Rectal Fissure: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment


Question
It stings when I poop and it feels like theres a cut in my butt. It bled a little bit of blood. I dont want a doctor looking in my butt. will a doctor have to look in my butt?
I dont know if its a cut tho

Answer
It sounds like you have developed a rectal fissure, but to be sure, someone would look.  

Sometimes people get a little constipated and try to pass a really big stool and the tissue at the anus tears a little bit.... it should heal, but try and keep from being constipated and you could use a little hemorrhoid cream twice a day and after any bowel movement and that will speed up the healing.  (use it for 2 weeks)

If you get constipated sometimes... try taking some Miralax.... 1 capful a day plus plenty of fluids and that helps take repeat stretching/pressure off that area.
