I am 3.5 months post-LIS (Nov. 17). Fissure is completely healed. However, went to CRS 2 days ago because of foul-smelling odor and dull pain at incision site. CRS examined the area, and said that he thinks I have an abscess on the inside of my anus as a result of the incision wound not completely healing. The abscess is giving out pus, which is causing the odor. He stated that I would probably need a follow-up surgery to reopen the wound and clean it. However, I am really worried about getting another surgery, and I am going to schedule a 2nd opinion with another CRS. My CRS also said that I could wait a couple of months and see if it heals, as 30% of them heal on their own?
Not sure what to do- this is so frustrating, as I thought this was all behind me (pun intended :-/). Has anyone else been through anything this? Please share your experience, as it will greatly help. Thanks.
