Hello,
I'm new to this board, but through google, found out that this forum is more geared and active towards anal fissures and the works.
I've had my 1st anal abscess 4 months ago. Since then, I've been extremely sensitive of the area, and every little detail, or discomfort. Since then, I've had a few fissures here and there which has caused me some concern. They did clear up after 1-2 weeks. The openings would close and I thought this was a fissure.
But recently, I noticed the area 'felt' like it wanted to form a pimple and eventually another opening came about, but it was at my surgery location. I've looked through google and all that and the pictures between a fissure & fistula are kind of difficult to distinguish.
What type of specialist should I see, and how is the diagnosis or determination going to be like? More so, how is the surgery process.. I'm so scared and frantic.
What if this opening closes itself again? Would this be a fistula, or just a fissure that happened to tear near the area of surgery?
Thanks.
