A member asked:
If i have chronic anal fissures, will i lose a significant amount of blood cells over time? and will the blood loss cause additional health problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Although it is: unlikely to progress to that point there certainly is the potential that long term serious issues could arise. It would be smart to see a proctologist for evaluation and treatment to avoid long term issues.
