Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my fiance has something on her anus and i've yet to be able to identify if its a hemmoroid, rectal prolapse, etc she was getting blood when wiping but when i examined it appear to be that area and was a small crack in the skin like chapped lip. she has in the last few months developed a small skin tag opposite of the unidentified problem area
The cut in the anal verge and a skin tag is indicative of a condition called fissure-in-ano.
I would advise her the following in such a condition:
-Sitz bath in a tub with warm water -Mild laxatives to keep stools soft; Send sample of stool and blood for lab -Consult a general surgeon for examination -Per rectal digital examination and ano-proctoscopy.
This will give an idea of exact diagnosis and plan for further management. A course of an antibiotic, Metronidazole, probiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. T Chandrakant
