Hi all, I am new to this forum but unfortunately not new to having a fissure. Mine started due to stress-induced constipation, during a stressful time of my life, over 5 years ago. It healed (sort of) due to GTN ointment and suppositories but I have been regularly plagued with haemorrhoids.
Now, whilst I am working with my husband in the UAE, I have managed to contract stomach ulcers, they were dealt with by taking antibiotics but whilst my immune system was battered, I caught a bug from the kids at school and the diarrhoea played hell with m bum. Now the fissure is red and inflamed and I'm back to the horrendous pains I had years ago, making the toilet visits a nightmare.
Anyway, the job here comes with medical insurance and the surgery doctor I have seen specialises in these kinds of problems. He has recommended that I have THD laser procedure for my haemorrhoids and a laser fissure procedure, which I think you said you had, BettyBlue. I could really do with some advice, as I could be having the op in a week or less even.
Thanks in advance :-)
