Yes the flap goes internally. I have been sitting, it is uncomfortable but I have a inflatable cushioned donut to sit on when it gets to be too much. He recommended one sitz bath a day but if I had a bowel movement to have another sitz bath. I stopped taking the pain medication I do however take an occasional 2 tylenols to ease whatever discomfort I have. I am more calmer now then I have been in the past I had a friend tell me to think positive thoughts because the mind is a powerful thing. So I am trying to keep positive and believe that I will heal with the medication he gave me.
If you have any other questions for me feel free to ask. And I hope you are less depressed now that you have heard my experience with it.
Thanks for the positive thoughts. I hope everything with you goes well and you remain positive through it all
