I'm waiting for a referral to the GI specialist to get it more thoroughly checked out. I still feel as if it is an anal fissure, as I have the symptoms for it. I've had blood work done and my iron levels seem fine. I've been eating more high fiber foods in the hope that it'll help out. It's been painful going to the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and almost crying from the paper cut like feeling of pain(sharp pain), it hurts bad.
Hello,
From the symptoms of anal pain and blood on wiping sound more like anal fissures but it is important to rule out the possibility of any hemorrhoid also. Depending on their location,they can be internal(rectum) or external(near anus) hemorrhoids.
Diagnosed by clinical examination,Per rectal examination and anoscopy. My sincere advice is to consult a surgeon.
I am having anal fissure I used diltiazem gel for 2 days but then I realised that my urine, water and even my fingers hurts near my vagina lips. I feel hell fire pain.Lateron i realized that my skin is cut and there is acne typ on other side but its uper skin is vanished. I think that this gel hurts me because when I put it first day I apply it widely.
Went to physical therapy for the Levator syndrome and ended up with several anal fissures. I just had botox injections done. But right now I am just miserable. Hot baths are about the only thing that help. The surgeon just prescribed valium to take along with the other ointment and meds I am taking. I cannot sit at all right now. I am just absoluetly miserable. I just would love to find someone else to talk to about this. I look forward to hearing from someone.
Anal fissures are extremely painful and of course, made worse by continual diarrhea. I would call your GI and see if he wants to see you or send you straight to a colorectal surgeon. They just have a scary name...but they can take a close look at what's going on because of the equipment they have on hand. If your temperature starts to really spike, id recommend going to the ER. You are right that infection is very possible/probable and sepsis can turn nasty very quickly.
Hello,
Without examination confirming a diagnosis is tough but it looks like anal fissures. An anal fissure is a split in the anal skin and it feels like being cut with glass when you have your bowels open and afterwards.In that case,take warm sitz baths , smear some painkilling gel around the area and avoid constipation.If the symptoms persist then glyceryl trinitrate ointment,Botox injections and surgery can be tried.
Nearly 3 years back I started having lot of itching in my anus, as a result started bleeding a little while passing. I went for a colonoscopy which confirmed small anal fissures. My gastroenterologist said nothing serious to worry about and gave some ointments and pain killers expecting it will go.
Though the pain and itching subsided, while whipping with toilet papers, sometimes I noticed blood and pain, but I no longer bleed these days.
Hello,
Causes of such an anal rash include moisture(due to sweating or frequent washing), the abrasion caused by clothing,the pressure of sitting,chemical irritants like laundry soaps, colognes and scented toilet paper,certain food irritants,medicines like some antibiotics and laxatives,infections like STD’s and pinworms,anal abrasions and fissures and skin problems such as psoriasis, seborrhea and eczema. Sometimes hemorrhoids will start off as red rash and anal itching.
ve been dealing with a difficult, painful and embarrassing problem for more than a year. I was told that I have anal fissures over a year ago but the topical ointment was useless. I took the alternative measures of the sitz baths and while it feels better for a time, the next painful bowel movement just swings me right back to the beginning.
I've also noticed a terrible odour that is accompanied by a slight moisture settling around the anal area.
Thank you for your suggestions. I'm using a compound prescription called Diltiazem 2% Gel. It's supposed to help heal anal fissures. It seems to have helped some---but not enough that I'm completely without pain. My doctor said to give it 4-6 weeks to help heal the fissure. Do you know if a small fissure has to be surgically sutured or can it be carterized?

Treatment of anal itching depends on the cause of the problem.
On a separate note, I suffered from anal fissures for 3 years, horrendously painful, like someone shoving a knife up your bum ever time you go for a poo - **** the GTN, go for the diltiazem hydrochloride 2%. I mean, it didn't work for me overall and rid me of the fissures but my bum was very tight and needed surgery. Just don't suffer with it! And also if it happened as a result of anal sex don't beat yourself up about it, no matter what your past you have a spotless future.
It sounds like it could be pruritus ani (anal itching) and/or an anal fissure, which would be the source of your pain. What you have is debilitating, trust me, as I dealt with similar symptoms for over 3 years. It won't get better on your own and for whatever reason doctors don't seem to know about truly effective treatments. Don't waste your time on diets or expensive prescriptions...
when u have a lower rash on your butt ive been having it for 2days now. it dosent itch but its there.

Try keeping the area sweat free and wear cotton clothes.

( if you feel constipated try prunes and kiwi fruit, lots of fiber and water and if all else fails a stool softener. Piles are another word for hemeroids and anal fissures are another kettle of fish (infection of a gland) but your probably looking at hemeroids. Also using baby wipes on your bottom is better than tolite paper. And if it gets to painful ask your doctor for dome hemeroid ointment. Its amazing! Lol good luck!
STDs are more likely if there has been anal exposure, e.g. if you have had receptive anal sex. But anal fissures also are more common following anal sex, and hemorrhoids can be made worse.
So regardless of your sexual history, my advice is that you visit your primary care physician or clinic. An accurate diagnosis may be immediately obvious, and is unlikely to be serious.
I hope this helps.
