I am a 20-year-old female and think I have IBS. I have
noticed blood in my stools and often have pain near the anal area. What should
I do?
Relax, this does not sound like IBS at all. I think you may have
have an anal fissure or a hemorrhoids. The best thing is to see your doctor and
have your anal area examined. In the mean time, treat your constipation, add
fiber to diet, drink ample water, sit in the bath tub and soak your bottom
several times a day. This will help relieve the discomfort. Most anal fissures
can be cured by home therapy. However, if they fail to heal in 6-12 months,
surgery is required.
