PLEASE DON’T BE SCARED OFF BY LENGTH. It seems important for me to give you the proper background info on the problem so that you can answer it as best as possible. Please read through it and help me out if you know anything about **** fissures, hemorrhoids, or other problems that can result in these symptoms. I will greatly appreciate all of your help!
Oh, and if it helps, I am a 21 year-old female.
So this is kind of disgusting, but I’ve been experiencing some pain and bleeding on my ****. This started about a week ago. I had been constipated that weekend, and then on Monday, I was able to make a bowl movement, but I experienced a burning-like pain, and when I wiped, there were drops of bright red blood on the toilet paper. After this, my **** continued to hurt off and on for about 2-3 days (although it did not bleed again). Then, tonight (8 days after initial bleeding), after about 3 days of no pain or bleeding, it happened again. I was a little constipated earlier, but I was careful not to strain myself, as I thought that the initial problem was hemorrhoids, and I know that those can be caused from strain during constipation. So, I waited all day until I could easily go to the bathroom. But, when I went, I again experienced a burning-like pain, and there was again drops of blood on the toilet paper after wiping.
I initially thought that I had hemorrhoids, due to the constipation problem. However, I looked up pictures of external hemorrhoids, and I definitely don’t have anything like that. So then I thought I might just have internal hemorrhoids, but I looked in the mirror (a very difficult task, I might add), and I noticed a bright red scratch-looking thing, about half the size of my pinky nail right at the base of my ****. I looked up pictures of **** fissures, and this seemed to fit that description. However, I have questions for people who know something about **** fissures:
Is it possible to experience a few days of pain relief when you have a fissure? I would have assumed that it would be constant (if not slightly-lessening) pain day after day until the fissure healed.
What could I have done to get this? I have not had **** sex, nor have I had anything up there, lol. So how could a fissure could have occured? To be honest, I do remember scratching myself there on accident about 2 months ago, to where I experienced pain for about a day, but I hadn’t felt anything since then, so the two seem unrelated.
I’m very confused. If you know anything about **** fissures, hemorrhoids, or any other problem that this could be, please let me know.
And yes, I know I should go to the doctor. I am going to try to make an appointment soon, but I’m very busy, so I just wanted some background information if I could find it.

Its very possible that your constipation caused the **** fissure. If your fiber intake is off and on, it could account for the pain being off and on. I would try to increase your intake of fiber to soften your stools until it completely heals. Also, avoid sitting for long periods of time, try not to eat processed foods, drink plenty of water, and try to keep moving. Sitting or squatting will only put pressure on your bottom so try to limit that. I just finished an article about natural ways to cure hemorrhoids and related ailments that you might find useful. Hope you feel better.
well generally hemorrhoids/piles shouldn’t appear in the stool but rather on the toilet paper after you wipe, so if its in you’re stool then you might want to consider a colonoscopy to make sure there are no polyps in your colon. if you’re convinced however that its piles then you should try increasing you’re fibre intake
