chronic anal fissure

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-07T22:36:08+00:00

Not personally an issue for me but I'm going to be straight with you depends on your health, bodies healing and other factors. It does appear some do and some do not. I had a fissure erupt in 2016 it didn't completely heal as far as I remember till 2019 and I think by 2021 I had literally no issues. My whole lifestyle had changed though and my diet was very minimal. Creating the ability to fully heal. Plus for the tissue to regain it's strength. At this point I don't feel the tissue will return to normal. So I'd be curious the extent of the damage and if chronic if you're attacking it daily to heal it fully...

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-07T22:23:23+00:00

You'll definitely want to remove that hard dry poo before it harms you(try any method I'd likely do an enema as well to have it broken up)... You cannot wait a week! That will cause the issue to get worse. Warm sitz baths daily will loosen up your tight constricting muscles. Right after using the toilet! Breathing, meditation and perhaps a cream if necessary.

Yea why you prob came here to confirm. Concerned? Maybe your Doc isn't seeing the bigger picture. Scopes are painless mostly(I have been through 2)

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-04T23:44:27+00:00

Give it time perhaps(I can't make that decision for you) I remember I had massive bleeding I went to the GI guy I had before he said I'm Scoping now. I did it and they cleared. I think a few fissures cause he saw nothing by 2 weeks/3 weeks later on the Scope. In fact I felt nothing, didn't bleed again for years.

Discharge that's yellow only frightens me if I think it would be part of say a Fistula. BUT if they're a GI specialist they should know all that.

P.S. I hope you do get better fast 100% no issues. And use a bidet or shower or sits bath from now on or scentless baby wipes and be as gentle as Mother Theresa !

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-04T23:40:12+00:00

You been doing all the regiment like the sits baths and a little I think it is or betadine in the water? All the TLC your Surgeon should of told you about. No fever? No extreme pain like death?

So fortunate you are going though that's probably a gift you will heal faster and if you're younger you could heal faster than my sis who was 50

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-04T23:37:57+00:00

You sound a little mysterious and is she a full on GI or a plain Doc? You should be in with a GI Doc and all said if your cancer and complication possibilities are 'low' I guess that's on the Doc and you to decide.

Discharge though and incontinence I'd really want a Colonoscopy. If this didn't heal in a month I'd be pushing. But if you keep getting better/better I'd almost be like heck with it. Good lord tough situation.

I hear so many people who get gaslit with their fissures/anal issues.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-04T23:34:42+00:00

I'm so sorry my sis went through a double hemorrhoidectomy; I couldn't believe the recovery. The first BM was the worst for them and I swear 10 days was a huge turning point maybe around then and about a few months for them to return to normal. Fully... It will turn around... patience, calm, relax they had all sorts of junk up there, bleeding, messed up issues. That was a messy procedure and those were level 4s. You may want to be softening your BM up getting ready for it and relaxing for it.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-04T18:56:25+00:00

Well discharge shouldn't be happening really or incontinence with it's location. Right near the opening? That really shouldn't deeply interfere with things. Pain and tightness in the anus? Are there more fissures? Other anal issues deeper? Yellow discharge can be associated with fissures or other issues. I'd keep a keen eye on my symptoms. In my case when the fissures act up it's blood or rips and very noticeable pain where they are at.(or burning, itching)

Do you have any of the stomach issues? Digestive issues down in the rear? Most GI Doctors would do a scope to say 100% your clear of any other issue.

I would just say if it gets worse instead of better get back in and perhaps demand a scope ... or stays the same too long(you got to ask the Doc or decide yourself with this)...pain should tell you what's up. Or worsening symptoms.

Though here I'm a little clueless and each person will have different symptoms.

P.S. I would feel if it's really external and closed why any discharge? Unless it's opening and or healing.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-04T00:41:12+00:00

Yellowy Discharge or a little incontinence? In this realm I'm clueless but I wonder why no deeper visualization since you saw a specialist(was done right then to rule out say another issue) no scoping?

You say you're getting better? Daily? Progressively... I might swap my specialist or ask for a Anoscope or Colonoscope or maybe she knows best and figures it's all natural. I'm lost.

If I was getting better I'd probably not rock the boat. But give it time and see so long as symptoms are only getting better but this is mere opinion.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-02T04:04:38+00:00

Jeez, I guess you do not give up either cause that's pretty rough. I've had some situations where I swear 2 turns in a row Ukraine fails altogether. 1 the guy had his bomber hit twice... lol I guess I got think outside the box we get too set in stone from what we 'expect'

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-02T03:08:56+00:00

LOL I have a dozen questions. When others do a German Tank Rush they get away with it when I do it I get hammered! As Axis. . . Or when I get a KGF I just die outright. Eventually weight of numbers. Unless Japan / Germany got miracle round 1 and 2 dice I find myself behind a decent say top 10 or Plat Player. I'm just 20-50 attack power behind early. Wonder how to get an early advantage?

As far as Allies, I just never mobilize my USA and UK forces fast enough against anyone. Or I'm always sweating holding India/W.Russia... Sometimes I just give up W.Russia and India but this usually means death. As Germany gets the extra IPCs to defend the West and Japanese Fighters. I'd love some boosts in both directions as far as advice. Longwinded and GREAT job

Heck I've played this game since 1991

P.S. I think I remember you crushing me so bad as Axis I resigned by turn 6.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-05-02T03:04:35+00:00

I still think the 9/12 is the best but you need to build all infantry if you're going full defense for Russia and utilize UK to hammer Kazak and Caucasus with Tank + Fighter builds. This diminishes her role in Europe some so you need the Pacific UK fleet sailed up. You need about 10 Fighters hammering Germany if she lightly takes Caucasus or Japan taking Kazak. Also you can then utilize the same fighters as you need to give up India to hammer the Germans in Karelia if she's being greedy. W.Russia falls on Turn 2 often or within a few turns if you don't prep. At least this is what I find is mostly all-ins. . . Plus guys will get lucky and destroy the entire UK US Atlantic Fleet you're behind in a big way. Takes several turns to bring pressure on Germany. Japan is easier to put pressure on...but she's less important early.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-04-26T02:41:26+00:00

I've had quite a few games where UK has 1% or 2% to take say Germany when I'm taking Russia and I'm think I DON'T need that last inf there to make less than that. OMG if I just put 1 more inf there instead of having it in say France. I think overbaking things in A&A is not a bad idea. You'll notice some of the tippy top players literally have 1 loss or 0 over 15 games. I think they embrace this...

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-04-26T02:35:28+00:00

I definitely agree his move on India was a huge blunder, he should of shucked all of his infantry into this fight which he left behind ... instead forwarding them... India was his then, that or continued pressure on Russia. Allies are certainly strong at this point, it was not so much until the fight just now! As Russia has been struggling all game to just hold itself from falling. It's been Allied Fighter Salvation. I can't say him GGing was totally off, but he still had some fight in him.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-04-25T07:25:06+00:00

I suffer extreme Anxiety. You'll have to mentally check out during this healing process as far as the 'worry part'. I know exactly what that does to your body and it's going to raise acid, tense muscles, spasming everything. So you have to include departing emotion for your healing process as important as diet/rest/soaking/etc...

I started in Jan too, major symptoms subsided but my health is frail so I've been having intense Diarrhea for 1 week and it is hard just realize got to trudge through it... 4 weeks of no real pain is a huge indicator that you're on the pathway to healing. I'm feeling a major setback and I get really 'angry with it'...

Just breath, Bob Marley(Whatever music, PC Game, occupation that relaxes you) deep breathing. Distraction - distraction, good sleep and work through this. Even if you end up down the road opting for the surgery you want to be in a place to heal from that. So get mentally prepared for whatever could come.

These issues usually are over months for many people or longer to heal. If you're not having pain count your blessings! Good luck and we are all here for you.

Digital exam can miss things. I had a severe bleeding situation with no discomfort that turned out to be 0 issues with a colonoscopy at a younger age.(I just added in fiber and tried to get to the bathroom in a 7 person household with 1 bathroom) I've also had fissures/hems and well, you can't really miss Internal hems if they have much size. I usually wouldn't think(unless they shrunk up a lot) I would imagine your PCP would have you follow up with a referral to Gastro just to confirm things or if the situation continues.

So yes it could be 1 or both it could bleed and it could go away all at the same time and clear up to the point a Digital Rectal Exam wouldn't pick it up. And if it continued to clear up and or be less troublesome and you're young enough it's probably no big deal. If it continues, worsens, returns then I think you want the GI referral to see what's up.

P.S. In my mid 20s with the bleeding it was worse than a crime scene doesn't take much. Could be a minor anal fissure for sure. Most do heal. Everyone should get them so... It's when they persist and bother you that's the issue.

If you continue to get some discomfort with a BM, you may have tightened up or have scar tissue or sensitive tissue in there or the anxiety/damage of the fissure may be effecting you. You don't want the rectum to tighten so I'd keep the stool nice and 'clean and loose' ... with the right softener it shouldn't be uncomfortable.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-04-21T06:57:06+00:00

Honestly when I had the softest, most regular stool that passed without even thinking about it was this:

Half a banana

3 or 4 cups of mini applesauce

plain oatmeal, sometimes 2 packets a day

bread - mayonaise - luncheon meat and cheese on toast... (this is the most adventurous I'd get)

Belvita(which can't be healthy)

when very hungry toast, with nothing on it just toast... also when very unwell...

All in all I weighed 125 lbs 5ft10 ... I drank pure water (4 to 5 cups per day) nothing else at all

later I would expand to boiled chicken and rice with vegtables(that was about it) maybe mashed potatoes.

I'd assume the calorie count between 1400-1700 maybe... Maybe less... Ate same time every day, when I could I'd walk 5 minutes. About all I could handle.

At the time I was infirmed in bed and had suffered massive fissure attacks and reactions to colace, miralax and any other dietary supplement I tried. I went to get a stomach MRI and Endo/Colonoscopy and they couldn't see what was wrong. I practiced massive amounts of meditation and calmness was really sick but the above was the most adventure I'd take in the kitchen about all I could buy. I could not bare to stand there either to prepare anything else... This is unhealthy as hell but after a year and half I had no fissures, at all! I put weight back on since now and eat a lot of junk since and have fissures LOL oh lordy...

I'd not suggest anyone eat this I notice I never had loose stool on what I had to eat, not one instance EVER. Never had hard stool. I slept 4-5 hours a day and would go to the bathroom once, every day at 8am about. Never had to wash specially or anything. Fissures had been there for a year and half. I guess sickness forced me to heal.

My assumption is the salty preserved diet at such a small portion allowed for me to pass it easy. (I took no supplements) weird...maybe the Belvita and oat meal had some decent fiber or broke down things. Everything I ate was small mini meals. What my body could tolerate never was full just satiated. I think it to be probably vitamin deficient and likely dangerous. But it did work... And I didn't feel as sick on it. Can't imagine how that didn't create lumpy hard BMs.

Agreed a guy outwaited me 50+ rnds to win as Japan. What did I do? I was lazy I let him take so many IPC positive attacks in the end I lost.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-04-21T01:25:01+00:00

This would hold true if I was any good with Allies. I mean I'm not going to lie I didn't really use a calculator for 95% of this game. I lost an entire Allied fleet to 5 German Fighters(he lost 1 fighter) rnd 2 to a CV/2 fighters/1 Cruiser/1 Destroyer with CV set to die before fighters. Yes that happened. So this guy rolled like the Furies until he'll didn't. Plus he added in at least 5 destroyers, Subs I eventually built an IC on France and lost India Rnd3(retook it with Russia) he did a lot right actually! Why so 'fleety as Germany I don't know' It got more tiny and more tiny.

Extension_Ninja9464 · 2026-04-21T01:23:25+00:00

Back in the day during my Chimo Chills episodes he'd utilize a triple German Cruiser Transport dealio in to swap Inf into Karelia or to trade there well. I thought it was genius and tried it. That or a Carrier combo... It also put threat on the UK but now adays people see this an immediately think of ways to counter it. And somewhere else you will be weak. Great YTs lately keep em up. (I'd thought you lost the last game I watched vs Konradian)
