Anal Fissure Support Forum

I would be terrified that I would become incontinent if I had a second LIS. Having had my surgery in 2020 as well I can't imagine having to go through it again. I have had a few minor fissures which is normal. But when I have them I immediately do a sitz bath on the toilet and it's gone that day.

Please can someone help me - I am still incontinent over 3 months after receiving botox, am I permanently incontinent now?

I had botox 3 months and 2 weeks ago now and am still incontinent, has anyone else experienced more long term incontinence after botox? The doctors keep insisting it won't last but I've heard of others having more long term incontinence and I just don't believe anything anymore.

... rate seems quite low and I don’t fancy ending up worse. I’m not a candidate for LIS apparently being female the doc seems to think I’ll end up incontinent when I’m old! Great… I’m now swallowing olive oil and aloe Vera juice as someone said it cured them!! The upside is we can’t drink alcohol ...

... just makes it itch and feel a little annoying. I am sure the LIS had a little do with it. A completely acceptable trade off! I am definitely not incontinent.

... recovery can take longer then that to heal, everyone’s different too. Thats good the itching is gone that’s a sign of healing. So glad your not incontinent! My surgery feels good so far. It was more painful then the lis but most pain was on day 3. Had to start taking the meds she prescribed ...

... almost guarantee that it will be a high resting pressure. Her concerns are that I’ve had 3 vaginal births so high risk patient, also that I was incontinent after Botox one time. She said that she (or any other surgeon) can’t fix it if lis renders me permanently incontinent. I’m going to ask ...
