fissures are like little cuts/splits that hurt like hell open up and bleed when you go loo, hemorrhoids are lumpy grape looking things(veins) that swell and bleed, also very painful.
Oh yah! I am so pleased to hear that melopop. Hopefully you'll get a reduction in pain over the next couple of weeks and then it's just a matter of riding it out until they heal. Based on how painful yours sound I would probably say you are looking at around 6 months of Nu-lax. I know that sounds ridiculously long but I think I gave it a good 3 months and I caught them pretty early and they weren't too severe. I found that things felt completely healed and I'd wean myself off the Nu-lax, have one solid movement and rip everything to hell again. It really takes a long time for the existing scar tissue to knit firmly back together again. At least the Nu-lax is natural and pretty cheap aye!
Uh oh, that sounds familiar... I asked the midwife about the blood and splitting feeling and she just said I must be constipated. Can they heal without help?
I haven't been in real pain for a week or so now but that's cause the bakery over the road seems to make me go softer and more often. Maybe they bake with lactulose?
Jelly - the only way they really heal is if they don't get split back open again and have a chance to knit back together. So that means you've got to have soft movements for a long time. Who know a bakery would be so good for you??
Jelly - ha, maybe the sneak metamucil in their baking! Sounds like my kind of bakery!
Jelly, it's great that the pain seems to be going away. Keep on top of it now so that it can heal and not get worse - drink loads and keep up with your fibre intake.
