Hello All
Well I finally had surgery, I had it done at a clinic as an outpatient procedure. The CRS that did it for me, has some great reviews, has been in business 25 yrs, and is the head of the CRS residency program at a known hospital in the local area.
As expected i did have some pain, and bruising down there post surgery, sitz baths really help with the swelling and pain management.
At first the doctor left my wound open, but after coming home it started to bleed and i could not really stop, so i went back to the clinic and he put 4-5 sutures.
I saw him a week post OP and he said all looks good, and the fissure is healing.
I am scheduled to see him agian in about 5-6 days.
I am pleased that the fissure pain is gone, but i do some have concerns that some of you guys who had surgery done might have the answer's to.
1. I noticed a small pea sized lump down there after the surgery?
2. How long before the anal sphincter can regain strength to the fullest?
3. I noticed minor pain when having BM's? also slight burning after having a BM?
4. Also i noticed after having a BM i might have a drop or 2 of liquid drip? is that because the sphincter is still weak?
