Rich, what was the original diagnosis of your fistula?

Yes, I bet it's just the healing process :) I'ms ure you will heal very well soon!

hey ajl
i started with a fissure ,which i had botox for on sept 10 also had a polyp removed,3 weeks later i was in so much pain found out i had a abscess which needed surgary to drain and remove all the bad tissue ,it left me with a big wound and with a fistula ,which was higher than first thought ,he put in a drainage seton to keep the track open and drain the abscess ,on dec 11 had a fistulotomy to remove seton and lay open the fistula ,all healing ok hope and pray it continues to heal ok ,saw my crs last friday and said it was healing ok ,,
heres to great healing
healthy and happy

Fistula Friends,
Before your surgeries, did you ever experience rectal bleeding with stools? This morning I still had some bleeding. In fact, it seems as if there may have been a bit of bleeding overnight.
