hello,
I'm new to the forum and have read some of the posts, some positive and most terrifying. I am due to undergo a haemmorrhoidectomy and anal skin tag excision a week today under GA. The haemmorrhoids are extremely sore when they do flare up, to the point I am almost unable to walk, however they do not flare up a lot! I have 3 very large skin tags (even by the consultants standards) from left over haemmorrhoids and my main reason for undergoing the surgery is to get these removed, as it is very difficult to keep the area clean and also is seriously affecting my sex life.
I'm really anxious about the procedure for the main 3 reasons:
1. I'm extremely nervous about the GA, I have not been under a GA since I was a small child and the thought of it is freaking me out.
2. That the skin tags are not fully removed or end up worse than before the op.
3. That I'm going to be left on incontinent after the op.
Was wandering if anyone can give me any advice on calming down about the GA, and also if anyone that has undergone the anal tag excision has actually ever been left with a normal looking bum (most posts I've read it appears not) and also if anyone has experience incontinence after the op?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
