you may wait and watch

Detailed Answer:
HI
Greetings

Are your periods regular?
Were any SURGERIES done before?
Was there any relief after fissure treatment?
Are you on any medications?

Generalized anxiety can cause such feelings...
Since the scan is normal and no abnormal bleeding you may wait and watch...

Hope my answer helps you.
Regards
