I've suffered from Hems/Fissures since the ripe age of 17 (im now 32)

I've also done the dreaded proctologist visit many time with the same advice, more fiber more water more exercise and less coffee and I have always maintained those habits which has led me to think my rectal issues directly correlate with my stress and anxiety!

Since this Covid lockdown began i have been suffering. Every Single bowel movement I've had has been painful and extremely bloody. My backside feels like its ripping. after a bm i use wet wipes, take aleve, take a body shower and ice myself and begin to feel relief. I also regularly soak in the tub and do everything in my power to reduce stress. and this morning i attempted to go and am constipated regardless of no change in water and food intake so i couldnt go! Now im bloated, in pain and anxious to go and im so tired of suffering with this 😦

I need support!

    Ok...well we're here to hopefully help you.. first off you want to start taking fiber supplement like metamucil, accompanied by 3 + liters of water a day...I'm on a regiment where I take stool softener once in the morning and once after dinner. I also take my fiber supplement at around 5 after suffering from to internal grade 2 hemorrhoids, along with the banding procedure... I'm somewhat back to normal, and it's been about a year now... the trick is no straining no fried food, I find that if I drink coffee with cream I got to use the bathroom right away so I now drink only black coffee. you should look into a bidet, and Dude wipes.. on Amazon. hope this helps
