Hello, I've been dealing with a chronic anal fissure for 18 months and after a failed round of Botox I finally went in for a spincterotomy 4 days ago. So far recovery hasn't been that bad, mild pain but nothing severe. However, one area that is concerning is how after my surgery I had difficulty urinating. I managed to urinate at the hospital and still can but it's taking me a lot longer to urinate now (around 45-70 seconds). I can still start and stop the flow with ease but was just wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience after their surgery? Also, prior to my
Surgery my sphincter muscles were quite contriscted, I was wondering how long it takes for them to be relaxed like before I had my fissure. Any info is welcome, thanks.
