Suggest Treatment For Tear In Anus
Very embarrassing question: Recently, I started to have a bowel movement which was going to be big & hard (I hold a plastic bag to try to catch the bowel movement because if I don t, it will clog the toilet. After a minute or so I could feel the path it was taking. It went past my anus and was heading for my vagina. I manually, from the outside, tried to get the bowel movement up toward my anus, and I tore the area in between a little. I think it s healing; but wondered if it is something I should get checked. If it is, what type of doctor would I need? Thank you for any feedback.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined by a surgeon. Sitz bath twice daily will help in healing of the wound. Further medical management can be planned according to the clinical evaluation done by your doctor.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
