Anal Fissure Support Forum

I am 4 days post op from my fissurectomy, sphincterotomy with supposed sentinel tag removal. Today is the first day I have actually visualized the anus since my surgery. I noticed today that I felt something very swollen down there. Upon looking, my anal area looks ...

Hi all, I am 27 year old female who has suffered from a fissure since giving birth approx 1 year. Past. Tried all ointments, diet changes etc but nothing worked and I was eventually referred for Botox treatment which I had in February of this year. The Botox treatment was pretty straight forward, wa...

Hi all, joined this forum because I am at a loss as to what to do. 3 years ago I noticed I had such a small anal skin tag. It didn't really bother me so much but have always been self conscious when I am getting intimate. But after a bad case of constipation in January this year, I took some lactolo...

... Doctor said I should be able to go back to work on Monday. Um..not sure about that! I do have a question though for those who have had skin tag removal with LIS. It seems that he cut off the skin tag but there is a huge lump/ball type thing that is bleeding where the skin tag used to be. Is ...

It was misdiagnosed as piles for months and by the time I started to treat it correctly it was chronic. 4 months ago I had botox injections to try to heal the fissure a...

... and starting the process all over again. Anyway, after 8months of the fissure being back with no intention of letting itself heal, I underwent tag removal and Botox last Tuesday. Was "relatively" pain free for 1-2 days after surgery, then it hit on the morning of day 3: massive urge for ...

so basically to cut a long story short i've had an anal fissure causing me pain on and off for over 4 years. i kept putting off surgery because i thought i was healing (and fear of the surgery itself). however it went like this, 1 month would be good then the next would be hell. and then it got to a...
