Hello,
Am glad to have found this forum. I am a 31 year old male from UK. I have an anal fistula. In June 2012 i had a drainage seton put in. Three days back i went in for the second surgery - the colorectal surgeon told me before the operation that he was thinking of doing an advanced flap or cutting seton.
Post the surgery, the surgeon told me that he had done a LIFT procedure and has laid it open. Had my bowel movement yesterday and today and the pain was unbearable. Am on paracetamol and diclofenac.
Was wondering if someone could advice about the recovery after a LIFT procedure please. How long does the pain last during bowel movements please? :oops:
