Question
Hello doctor,
I have an anal fissure, after more than 1 month of treatment, the disease has not been cured, so I suspect that my disease is an anal polyp. I had bloody diarrhea and after I finished walking, I had a boiling feeling in my stomach with about 15 minutes, there was brown discharge. Yesterday, when I went, the blood was different from usual with my crack, it was closed but it was still there after walking. The doctor told me to ask if blood in the stool is an anal polyp? Thanks for the advice doctor.
