Did fissure completely heal?

Postby Anonymus » 03 Nov 2013, 22:40

hi,
I have been suffering from chronic anal fissure for many years , I finally decided to treat it , after many weeks I'm painless but still feel the line of the fissure exist but much less prominant than it wasbefore starting home treatement
Did I compleltely heal? Is what I fell now is scar formation?Is it hyperyrophied papilla ?I'm no longer suffering but I want to understand if I completely healed or still unhealed knowing that skin tag still exist,
Did I heal?

Only a doctor who does an examination can answer those questions for you. I suggest you see your doctor and find out.

Hy Anonymus and welcome! It is good to hear that you are doing better.
Could you please explain how you treated your fissure? (or perhaps you already posted it and I missed it)
Disabling burning, drilling pain in anal area for almost a year, started after UT infection. Small anal fissure diagnosed, turned out it is probably not the cause of pain, MRI shows no inflammation or fistula. Grateful to forum members for support.

Hi Anonymous,
Lefthanded is right - In order for you to confirm to what extent and if you have fully healed, you must see a CRS to examine you properly.
It's very possible from what you write that you have or are almost there. Scar tissue/ Sentinel pile is normal upon healing and will cause a few minor issues & symptoms of its own, but you will find if the fissure has healed over that your pain levels will be considerably reduced to pretty much nothing more than maybe some discomfort after a BM, maybe a feeling of slight soreness or "tightness" - maybe the odd twinge now & again.
Generally when the fissure "heals" the scar tissue will heal over the top, sometimes forming in a mass (the Sentinel pile) - This is there to actually "protect" the area from further damage but although sometimes it might reduce and calm down over time, it almost certainly never completely goes away. People are affected by this in different ways - for some, this settles to the extent that it's not really noticeable, for others, the pile may be larger & cause some issues.
It really depends on the original location of your fissure, the size etc....
Definitely worth getting a final verdict from your CRS though, if anything, to hear the words..."You're healed!!".....
Chronic Fissure diagnosed December 2011
Healed by Diltiazem around Feb 2013
Anal Fistula followed burst abscess in June 2012
2 internal troublesome piles remain & suspected, but undiagnosed, ongoing Levator Ani type symptoms & flare-ups
