rectal pain and bleeding

[kayl2787]

I think I have fissures because I struggle to go to the toilet and wen I finally do I'm in so much pain, which I can't do anything for at least 10 minutes which it then turns into a dull aching pain for hours, there also quite a lot of bleeding. What can I do to help with this its been happening for 10 days now and its really getting me down, help!!

Look, if you have a fissure, the only treatment I know is surgery, because I had to have it done many years ago.  Get yourself to a doctor who can diagnose this, because a fissure is a physical tear, not something that will heal with fiber.  Softening the stool will help ease the pain, but it won't cure the problem if it is a fissure.

Try a probiotic and Metamucil.  Eat an apple every day.  No soda.  Drink water instead.  Filter your water with a Zerowater pitcher if possible.  It takes out more of the toxins like chlorine than any other.  Avoid straining.  Try glycerine suppositories to start things moving.  Walk and stretch, including ballet stretches where you bend your back sideways.  If these measures don't work, try Miralax.  If even that doesn't work, then you will need to see a doctor.  

You can take Dulcolax now and then, but I wouldn't use it more than about 3 times a year.  It can damage your colon lining if you take it too often.

Have you tried taking fiber? If that doesn't help see a colon/rectal doctor
