ds blood on toilet paper .. could it be an anal fissure and which over the counter

[SlartyBartFast]

cream could i use,
i had it once and the gp said germaline.. i think that is an antiseptic.
obviously i dont know that is what ds has. he says he doesnt strain. just blood.
suggested sudocreame.. wonder if anyone any other ideas?

[emma1977]

Anusol- keep it in the fridge. Wrap an ice cube in tissue/flannel and hold it against the offending area for pain relief.

If definitely a fissure, rectogesic ointment on prescription can really help.

[emma1977]

A keep your poo on the looser side of normal to allow the tear to heal.

there's nothign else it coudl be i hope?

cannot tell without a gp visit i spose, or the dreaded google

[Katisha]

Don't google. DS1 gets this every now and then. Bit of germolene or antiseptic cream. Then if it carries in see GP.

[SlartyBartFast]

that's a relief

Plenty of fruit, plenty of water, and maybe some Anusol (ask a chemist if it is OK for DC, don't know how old yours is).
