Do I have acute or chronic anal fissures?
I've read about it online a lot but I'm still not sure which I have right now..
I've had anal fissures for years so it's nothing new to me. But I haven't had it for 6 months prior to December 14th 2012 and that was the first time it came back in a long time... I usually get them every month or 2 months.
But the thing is, my anal fissures goes away in a day.. once I have it for a day, it's gone the next. I know because I don't get blood when I pass a stool anymore after that.
But it comes back a little faster than normal now... it came back again on December 28th, 2 weeks later, but again, it happened once and it was gone after that and then it came back now just a little over 2 weeks, today... I'm pretty sure it'll be gone by tomorrow again but I knew it would happen because I felt a stinging feeling just before I had to go. But the weird thing is that the stinging pain is gone after you go :/
Anyway I'm not sure if this is considered acute or chronic because it says it's only chronic if it doesn't heal within 6 weeks but is it not healed then even after it stops bleeding the day after it happens for me, despite it coming back a couple weeks later just once again?
