Realize I’ve had fissures forever. Is it now different?
I’ve come to the realization that I’ve had fissures forever, and ever since I can remember whenever I had a hard and dry poop that was a bit bigger than usual I would have blood from feeling it tear open in my anus. When I saw the colorectal surgeon he had told me that I didn’t have any scar tissue at all to indicate a chronic fissure or any active ones (I had healed them by then) despite this being my reality for my entire life on and off every couple weeks to months with these hard poops causing issues growing up. The fissures had always healed within a couple of days and never given me the pain or trouble that the one I got at the end of this past year gave me. I never looked to see if anything was wrong when that would happen and would just go about my day without making any sort of changes at all to what I was doing and it always healed up completely without any issues. Is it different this time around because I had a pretty bad fissure that made me need to get looked at? Will all of the ones afterwards be just as bad or worse now because of it? I’m wondering if there is a reality where I eventually get back to a world where I got the kind of fissures that I did as a kid, but not the ones I’m experiencing as an adult. I’m wondering, if giving my body a year to heal without recurrence by being strict with my diet, and MiraLAX would it be worthwhile and allow for that possibility to happen where it will happen occasionally as it was before, or has the game changed do you think? Just curious peoples’ thoughts
