Hi everyone,

Ive been struggling with fissures during flares. It really hurts to pass stool - sometimes there is bright red blood when I wipe. Also having bouts of diarrhea and constipation.

Any insight would be helpful! Thank you.

What it sounds like u r having is I.b.s.= irritable bowel syndrome. It causes both diarrhea and constipation. The fissures usually occur with constipation because of the straining.. You can get some tucks from the drug store to use when u move your bowels they have witch hazel in them which is an astringent and can help to shrink them. They really do help me alot. I hope this helps some..(((hugs)))

I have problems all the time. I take a stool softener every day. Seems like it helps me. Without out it I'd be lucky to go maybe twice a week. Hugs and Prayers

Sounds like IBS. I have had to cut back on all dairy and take stool softeners.

Iโ€™m so sorry. Those are very painful! You can cauterize if continues. Runs on both sides of my family. I donโ€™t have them but my youngest daughter was born with this and had surgery at 4 yrs old. She is now 33 yrs old. I hope you feel better.๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’— Do you have IBS? ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
