Hi,
Thanks for adding me to the forum. To introduce myself, I'm a 38 year old female and have had 2 fissures since the birth of my third son nearly 2 years ago.
After trying the creams and botox (the botox worked, until it wore off), I got to the point of taking the LIS surgery, which I had 5 days ago.
All has been good pain wise - BMs aren't painful any more and apart from the first 24 hours, I've been fine.
However, I'm worried about leakage. I'm still bathing after every BM (which is either once or twice a day) and in the evening before going to bed. I am clean afterwards. However, 2 or 3 hours later, I wipe and there is poo on the toilet paper (even though I haven't had a BM). Not enough to mark my pants or anything, but it feels like I've had a BM and not wiped (when I know I have).
I'm really worried. I've got a follow up appointment with the consultant in 6 weeks. As I say, everything is better, but the slight leakage is my biggest concern. My husband says I am still healing and recovering and to give it time.
Any ideas if this will continue? Is slight leakage post operation usual or am I doomed to this forever?
Thanks so much,
Ipadmad
