I think your mom may be like many other people who haven't experienced a fissure first hand. It's not like a little blood that goes away and happens every now and then. My daughter had that w/ a hem after the birth of her baby and my husbands had it happen twice, but they were bothe no big deal and went away....
I think my family saw how serious this was after I lost 50lbs and it freaked them all out. Most people aren't aware of the pain this brings. I gave my mom and my sister this website and after they both read , they had a better understanding of what fissures do to people. I know that before I had one , I never thought they could be a big deal.... Maybe you should give your mom this support forum website and tell her this may give her a better understanding of what fissures are. You can't just wait it out and they go away. You have waited it out long enough. Your fissure is chronic- n medical terms. Your hubby has lived through this w/ you and has saw first hand what it does. I agree child birth doesn't hold a light to a fissure!!
You get your surgery if you feel this is the time for you and you have had enough :)
Yeah there will be discomfort, but this time, you will be healing , not just having a good week or two that will end!! Just think we give our fissures 8 months to heal without surgery, a couple of weeks of being sore and HEALING is worth it.... I'm here for ya girl whatever you decide!!
