Hey y'all...
I'm pat, male, 55, newbie to the forum. Never thought much about the anal area for 54 years... that's all changed. Had a chronic case of AF for a couple of months, nothing terribly painful and the doctors are already talking surgery. Yikes! I'm going to try as many non surgical options as possible, however.
I have to say that I've found more useful information browsing on this forum in 10 minutes than on WebMD, and all the other medical sites combined. Certainly more information that I got from my doctor.
Bless you all... keep it coming. You're a godsend.
Take care everyone!!
