I had severe diahrhea entire 18 months Then constipation 4 months of chemo. After last Feb 2025 I developed several internal and external hemmeroids along with anal fisure. Tried creams preperation H. surgeon gave me Botox injection. Nothing helps them go away. Has anyone had this problem? It's debilitating. I do have 2 spinal discs that are herniated. I need 2 fusions. would this be contributing?

10 days agoDealing with hemorrhoids and anal fissures after cancer treatment is unfortunately more common than many people realize, as the digestive system can be significantly affected by chemotherapy and the resulting bowel changes. Many community members have shared similar struggles with these painful complications following treatment, and it's completely understandable how debilitating this can be while also managing recovery from other procedures. Consider discussing all your current health concerns with your medical team, as they can best evaluate how different conditions might be interconnected and explore additional treatment options that might provide relief.
