Question 1

i was checked out by my doctor and she said i have an anal fissure. my question is, do anal fissures bleed a lot? and do they cause blood clots?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are a lot of qualitative terms in your question. 

Anal fissures normall cause bleeding that you see on the toilet paper or toilet bowl. A small drop of blood in a large bowl of water can seem like a lot of blood. 

Depends on how you are rating what a lot of blood is, when and where you are seeing it and other symptoms.  

Blood clots are not typical for a fissure, but possible.

Question 2

this is actually about my husband. my husband was diagnosed with an anal fissure, since then he has not got better and now is seeing some blood.?

Accepted Answer

See the doctor: An anal fissure can cause local pain and bleeding from the anal region. See your doctor for medications to try. Avoid constipation, avoid straining at the toilet, use stool softeners from the drug store. Surgery is sometimes indicated for chronic fissures that do not heal.

Question 3

too much blood for an anal fissure? does it just bleed a tiny amount?

Accepted Answer

Usually small amount: Typically anal fissures will produce a small amount of bright red blood on the toilet paper after a bowel movement.  Hallmark symptom is a burning, stinging pain after a bowel movement.  If it doesn't hurt, it's not a fissure.

Question 4

when u lose blood(this case:anal fissure)u have 2 replace h2o (50% blood=h2o). could u tell me the equation is 4 how much h2o needed? fissure healing

Accepted Answer

No strict formula: If you are thirsty, drink water.  If your bleeding has stopped, your blood count will rise over time.  You still need to see your doctor about the history of the bleeding, though.

Question 5

if a person have anal fissure can donate blood or it is contagious?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Each donation center will have its own list of excluded conditions or exposures that would refuse your donation. However, I don't recall this as ever being on such a list and don't see why it would. It is not a contagious condition.

Question 6

small fresh blood, rectal pain and itching after bm..had anal fissure 2 years ago...is this hemmorroids?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Fissures are usually associated with pain during and after a bm. Your symptoms could very well be secondary to hemorrhoids. You would need an anorectal exam to identify the source and differentiate the 2. I would rcommend getting an exam by your primary md or a gi/colorectal surgeon if you have seen any in the past.

Question 7

sharp pain when going to toilet plus blood in bowl and toilet paper thinking i got anal fissure back what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Anal fissure..: Probably is a fissure. Start Metamucil and use plain preparation H up inside twice daily for one week. Warm tub soaks will help. If not better in a week, see closest colon &amp; rectal surgeon.

Question 8

i have an anal fissure, and have a fam  history of  hemrds  and possible colitis, it got serious 9 days ago bright  blood  sprayin when bm is this er?

Accepted Answer

Rectal bleeding: Copious rectal bleeding, or bleeding with associated light-headedness or dizziness should be evaluated immediately in the emergency department.  Small amounts of blood or sporadic bleeding should be evaluated but can be done in your doctor's office.  Do not skip this step; any bleeding has the potential of being very serious.

Question 9

hi, i've got an anal fissure and for the past 5 days now it's been hurting quiet a bit, the pain has become so uncomfortable and unbearable even when i'm not using the toilet, there is no blood, i have tried a suppository but to no avail, it hurts?

Accepted Answer

Colorectal surgeon: I recommend consulting a colorectal surgeon for evaluation,treatment and follow-up. I'm concerned that you may have a perirectal abscess which would be best treated by a colorectal surgeon. Also, appropriate follow-up is crucial for best results.

Question 10

i have internal anal fissure problemfor 6 months used medicen cream doesnt work is it normal for the blood to be on the stool? pain after

Accepted Answer

Anal fissure.: The blood and pain are consistent with an anal fissure.  Management-wise, you should pursue next steps as your management thus far has not helped.
