Hi ms. baxte, i have a cut right above my butt hole that i received a few weeks ago and every time i use the bathroom it feels like the cut reopens and it starts bleeding. is there anywat i can prevent or fix this?

Anal fissures no fun: Anal fissures are like paper-cuts in the anus. They can bleed, hurt, & recur, particularly with defecation & any other activity that increases pelvic pressure. Disorders of anal-rectal function, straining at hard stool, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, long distance walks/runs are causative & should be addressed. If stool softeners, fiber, topical rx, & behavior changes don't cure, see a surgeon.

See surgeon: May have an anal fissure or a pilonidal cyst.
