A 24 year unmarried woman who is a software employee has a complaint of bleeding per anus every time she passes stool. She underwent treatment for selfdiagnosed piles at a quack center on suggestion of her parents and friends to avoid a surgery, in view of various social reasons and misconceptions around it. Now she has pain in-addition to the bleed which she used to have. She continued to suffer in silence every day and every time she passes motion until one final day when she fainted in her washroom because of her low blood levels. On consultation she was diagnosed with chronic fissure in ano along with grade 3 interno-external hemorrhoids.

She was discharged the next day and returned to her work the next day and started leading a normal life. Her pain, agony and suffering in silence are all gone overnight.
