I've had painful bleeding piles and fissures since ds was born 3 years ago. I've had piles banded once and no relief. They're supposed to be banding them again but heard nothing from hospital. Currently struggling with a fissure - it's just inside my anus and it's like a big ulcer. It bleeds a LOT, I have had to wear a pad in the last few days because of it. The toilet becomes full of blood when I sit down whether I'm having a poo or not. When I do have a poo it's excruciating and it even feels like the muscle of the anus may be spasming. I'm in a lot of pain now - looking for a bit of advice please to help just relieve the pain? Thank you! Sorry for the gory levels of detail.
