Hey folks
happy to find this forum. Just came out of surgery yesterday after suffering for 2 years with a fissure. Just curious what others have experienced for recovery time. My doc said he did not think the tear was that bad, but that there was afistula and a really bad hemmeriod that he “ cleaned up “. He said he had been a bit conservative because of the risk of incontinance etc .
I just had my first bowel movement ( 1 day after surgery) and while the stool’ was soft And it did not really hurt passing it, the burning after has been quite bad for about an hour now. Very similar to before the surgery. Has anyone else experienced this? I know some have commented on the burning going away right after surgery. If it’s going to take time, that’s fine, I just thought it would be a different type of pain/discomfort. My fear is the sphincter is not relaxing and he has not solved the issue.
thanks for your help and hope you are all well and recovering!
