Hello.
I have been struggling with anal fissure(s) since having surgery on anal warts about 6 years ago.
My feeling is this: the scar tissue from the surgery left denuded skin that has no elasticity and it prone to rupture. My fear is every time the fissure forms, new scar tissue takes the fissure's place. This cycle has created a pile of scar tissue on my anus.
As far as doctors go, none have been too receptive to a fissure/sphincterotomy. One even commented that it would leave me incontinent (which I know only to be true for a small segment of outpatients).
My question is this: any good docs in the boston area to take this seriously? Also, will they remove the scar tissue and hemorrhoids as well as loosen the muscle during a procedure.
