Anal Fissure
So I was in doubt about this as i have had minor fissures in past which get cured in about a week by themselves and not so painful but since past week i have been experiencing a different type of pain rather difficulty in passing stool it feels like its gonna tear my sphincter area and so i hold it in as i dont want fissure but also after like when i again go for BM after 2 days its painless and comes out easy but then the next time i try and again it feels like exact same as before and i dont even tear myself during that last successful BM. What is this ??

Recurrent fissures can be due to constipation and straining or passing hard stools.

A stool softener and laxative for 10-15 days will help. Change your diet and avoid junk foods. Plenty of fruits, vegetables and water is advisable.

Start sitz bath atleast twice a day for 10-15 minutes. And consult a surgeon to rule out any other pathology.
