Anal Fissure Support Forum

I had my fissure botoxed twice about 2 years ago. Since then it’s about 90% healed and it’s nowhere as near as painful as it was, but today the sentinel pile that is next to it burst and is pretty angry looking. Does anyone know if they’ll remove a sentinel pile on the NHS? It’s obviously going to b...

I am considering having a small external hemorrhoid with connecting tag removed by a CRS. And possibly a prolapsed hemorrhoid inside of anal canal removed as well. The external/tag is located between vag side and top of anus (12 o’clock?) Not sure if I will only be making things worse for myself as ...

... gp to refer me for an urgent evaluation by a CRS. Is it likely they'll do that? I'm scared about the possibility of a spincher op. Hoping that removal of papilae will help fissure to heal. I feel massively let down by the NHS for imposing the same policy of skin tags for sentinel tag/fissures. ...

Hey everyone, I’m 20 years old. I have this throbbing pain to the point that I couldn’t sleep so I decided to go see the doctor last Thursday (7 feb). He diagnosed me with chronic anal fissure and give me the choice of medication and surgery. I chose surgery because I don’t want to deal with this pa...

I'm considering getting my tag removed because I'm self-conscious about it when it comes to sex and dating. My doctor told me that tag removal usually causes a new tag to form, but that it would probably be smaller than the one I have now... I'm curious to hear from people who've had tag(s) ...

Day of Surgery: I do two enemas as instructed and show up to the surgery center. I am sedated and my CRS performs the LIS with skin tag removal and bands 4 hemorrhoids.

Hello all! I’ve been lurking for a bit, but have learned so much from all of you! My main question involves aftercare... specifically regarding pain meds and sulfadiazine. Yesterday the surgery went well overall.. I actually had two fissures (one chronic, one acute) and a rather large skin tag to be...

... and sclerothetapy for internal hems. Around 10-12 treatments for thrombosis hem/ tag. Finally I saw another CRS who did a Sigmoidoscopy, tag removal, removed a “tiny external hem” and banded two internals. That was 9 days ago. I’ve been in pain ever since. I’m ok with pain if I’m healing- ...

I still have a gauze inside me since its my 1st day after surgery but i get spasms which hurt.

Please advice on foods to eat while recovery, how to safely pass stool while i have a sugery wound?

I haven’t thought about my fissure in a million years. And I didn’t know much about it when I was dealing with it over 15 years ago. I was having the sentinel pile or skin tag removed by cautery and it activated the fissure. Well I’ve settled it down after 2 weeks of soft stool, soaking, fissure oin...
