ok here goes update time
its been 3 days since my fistulotomy ,
it went well it was a little higher than first thought
he had to cut a bit of internal spincter and some fibres of the external spincter but he said it would all be fine ,i have good muscle tone down there he said ,he does not forsee any problems with continance ect,
the wound is a lot smaller than when i had the op for the abscess ,
so far pain has been fine ,i am swollen down there a bit i can feel the grove he cut when he deroofed the fistula it goes into my anus not to far i hope i feel the grove more because its swollen so feels bigger this should go down soon i hope ,going to the toilet ,i did not go for 2 days i was worried ,i went on the second day and was fine no pain ,little sore after ,cleaning up after is warm water wetwipes ,then jump in bath with shower head ,then in my potable bidet hope this keeps the area clean enough,
