Hello all,
I am a male and as we all know anterior fissures in my gender isn't common! I had 3 fissures originally one posterior (chronic) and two anterior.
the anterior fissures made excessive scar tissue bridging my sphincter and that got excised last year. I don't appear to have any active fissure now but every BM is still like a terrible grating bruise feeling. I've had a feel up there with lots of lubrication and I can feel a thick tissue scar type thing just inside the sphincter between the 11 and 1 position.
My surgeon assured me the scar tissue will go away but it's not getting any better and my BMs are still painful as ever (especially on the days with the dreaded plug effect!!!!) but once the bm has passed I get no spasms and the pain ceases apart from a dull ache.
I'm trying aloe vera cream which doesn't really work but I'm running out of ideas.
it's been asked a few times here but there's never been a definitive answer, will my scar tissue dissipate and return to normal tissue? or am I stuck like this forever?
