Anal Fissure Support Forum

... I'm new to the forum and have read some of the posts, some positive and most terrifying. I am due to undergo a haemmorrhoidectomy and anal skin tag excision a week today under GA. The haemmorrhoids are extremely sore when they do flare up, to the point I am almost unable to walk, however they ...

I had my super whammy surgery today. Surgery itself lasted 8 minutes. I was out for about an hour. I had it under general anaesthesia, so most of the hour was prep for that and waking up after.

I will try and schedule an appointment with a colorectal specialist at work. I tend to google a lot and I get anxious sometimes because googling ...

... seems to come out when I have a bowel movement. It is hard to describe, but it is not hanging and does not have the appearance of a typical skin tag - the base is wide and it is more lump like. It seems to mostly disappear after a bowel movement, but not entirely. It does not seem particularly ...
