Question: So here is my issue. It all started out of nowhere. I first noticed that I was a little sore or achy in my anal area. Then, afterabout a couple of days, I could feel the soreness on the inside. Like if I would squeeze my anal muscles, I could feel the soreness. That lasted for a few days, and then the soreness turned into pain that would come and go. Then eventually, I noticed that when I would go to the restroom, there would be some white mucous on my stool. I have NEVER seen blood. The mucous is still there, but it is less. Almost gone, and it only is on the end of the stool that first comes out. Well, then I would go to the restroom, and it would hurt for like 30 minutes after I went. Like a dull throbbing ache. Then it would stop. I also noticed for a few days that the smell was slightly different in that area. Today, because of a stool softner, I used the restroom a couple of times, and I had no pain at all. Seemed to be getting a little better. My anus seemed more relaxed. I noticed; however, in the mirror that after I pushed to have a bowel movement that out of my anus was a middle size what look to be intact hemorrhoid (lump with covered skin). And, I could see it slowly move right back into the anus. I think I have seen that little in the past, but it didn't bother me or hurt or anything. But, today, I put some Vaseline on my finger, and went up in there to see if I could feel anything. Felt nothing. About 20 minutes later, I had intense intense pain that felt like a throbbing in my anus...deep inside of it to the right side. I hadn't had any pain all day until I went inside of myself. I could feel the pain radiate and move around after about 20 minutes of solid pain on the right side. It moved to the front, and then to the center, and then it has gone away and does not hurt at all now. I don't understand how this can hurt so bad at times, and then just go away until the next time. It also seems that a couple of times today that I have felt like fullness under my scrotum area...like...a spasm that was pulling and then it will release. I have no idea what is going on.

Yesterday...I had a good day. I had no pain anywhere at all, and yesterday, I had a couple of bowel movements early in the morning. However, this morning, I woke up and I felt a pressure, as if I Knew that there was some stool up in me, but that it was not moving down the way it normally should. Then, I got a little out. But then I stopped straining because I did not want anymore troubles. Now, I can tell that there is some stool up there, but it is not moving down like usual. Then all of a sudden it hit me. About a month ago, I started a low carb diet, and I have not been eating any starches like rice, potatoes, pasta, etc that my body was very used to. I am wondering if this could be the source of my issues as I have never had an anal fissure nor constipation before.


Please see reply before this regarding low carb diet. Today no pain until three o'clock pm when I had to pass stool. Seemed to be constipated. It hurt for 45 minutes afterwards then pain sent away. This time there was a lot of white mucous on the stool that came out. Still feels as if there is stool up in me that is just there but not moving down. I'm concerned about the mucous more than anything.

So would you recommend that I use maybe a prep H suppositories maybe once a day? Like when I go to sleep?

I have now had no pain in two days at all. I did take some of the murilax. Worked well. Even after I use the restroom now and have a bowel movement, I have no pain. A few days ago...before I think I really started healing...the throbbing pain was TERRIBLE. The only thing that I have left that I have a question about is two things.

1. I have a feeling sometimes that it feels as if something is crawling around in my anus. I did not have this before this issue. I can't tell if it is from the stool inside of me liquefying or what..but it feels weird. Ideas?

2. I also still have a little bit of mucous on my stool. Not on all of it. Mainly the beginning of the stool that I first push out....but not the rest of it. Will this mucous on my stool eventually go away even though I am not having any more pain?


See question above this one. Ok. All pain is gone now. Haven't has any pain after bowel movements in about four days. Been taking murilax to soften stool. The only two things that are left over is the mucous is still on stool, and when. I do go to the bathroom, I think a hemmorhoid is swelling, and this lump comes out of my anus, and then it slowly returns back into my anus. It causes me to still feel open until it returns. Saw it in mirror. I'm beginning to think that possibly this could have been a hemmorhoid problem instead of fissure??? Or maybe I had both going on. I don't understand why I have mucous if I have no pain, and I don't understand the sometimes crawling sensation in anus.
