is piles and fissure same - #24186

Kian

I am feeling a bit lost and honestly kinda anxious about what's been going on with me. I’ve been dealing with some uncomfortable symptoms for a while now and I can’t shake this feeling that I need to understand more about what’s happening. Like a few weeks ago, I started experiencing pain during bowel movements, and there was some bleeding too, which freaked me out! I did some research and I keep coming across the question, "is piles and fissure same?" But I understand they might not be. Some sources say piles (hemorrhoids) are swollen veins while fissures are like cuts or tears in the lining. It’s hard to figure out what I actually have though, since my doctor seemed a bit rushed during my last appointment and didn’t give me clear answers. I mean, could it be that I have both at the same time? Is that a thing? Or if I have fissures, does that mean I automatically have piles too? These terms are like a jumble in my head! Ugh, any info would really help clear up the confusion. And if there's any tips on how to manage the pain or symptoms, that would be awesome!
