A member asked:
Might have anal fissure. added fiber & water. it's made my stool much softer but also wider. is this ok? don't wanna retear. still blood after 5 days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its ok.: fiber generally adds bulk to the stool and the fluid softens the stool even more. Fissures sometimes take longer to heal because of the active stretching of the anal skin with BMs. But you need to rule out other sources of bleed by obtain a medical evaluation.
