A member asked:
I've been having gi issues for some time and have developed rectal pain and possibly a fissure, i also have a history of pilonidal cyst...could it all be related? the cyst came first 20 years ago. could i have cancer? the stool labs all show normal?

The are not related though these two are adding to your discomfort. Make sure you stool stays soft: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
