Hie
well im a 21 yr old female and ive had serious anal fissures for close to four years now.
Needless to say ive tried everything, even had a minor operation done wen i was 18 called an anal dilatation to stretch the anal area but well it didnt help. So ive been to the best of the best. Been to two specialists so far and the last one told me i needed surgery as my fissure was chronic and wouldnt heal by itself. So dreading the incontinence and leaking that is most likely to be a major side effect i went to a new specialist in search of another opinion. Im currently seeing this new specialist and she has impressed me thus far, i start her treatment tomorrow and she encouraged me not to rush into the anal sphinctoronomy surgery . Im tired of living my life in pain and not knowing if ill be ok the next day.
This condition is so debilitating, it takes over your life and its all you think about.Im about to finish university and i feel like my college years have just flown by without me rly enjoying them.I Cant eat normally as you all well know,its gotten to a point where i cant even get into personal relationships because im so unstable, one week im fine and the next im in bed and i cant even go out. So ive decided to devote all my energy and time and money into getting better. My prayer is that this new specialist will finally provide the ultimate solution i need.
Will keep u posted on how things have been going but for now, been surviving on ointments, yes.. the scheriprocts, preparation h ointment, procotosedyl and a whole lot others. Im done with these temporary pain relievers. I need a final solution thats not surgery. Im so glad theres a space like this for its very comforting to know you are not alone.
noone can understand you unless they have been in your shoes, even your own family.
