Hi,
I went to my CRS to get my third treatment of Sclerotherapy. He has me on a regimen of Miralax and Metamucil. Which has helped with constipation.
However, he did the anoscopy and at the 4th visit he stated that I have hypetrophied anal papilla just above the dentate line. I have issues with my stools getting stuck after a bowel movement (i.e. residual stool left over). He was not too concerned by this but it happens 3-4 times a week and he said I should just increase my metamucil intake. I am worried that the hypetrophied anal papilla are causing my symptoms of stool getting stuck (I have done everything, cut back on my sugar intake, cut back on my coffee/chocolate,etc.). He said I should not consider surgery for them but I am a little baffled.
So far the fullness, itchiness and stool getting stuck are my main symptoms. I was wondering if those who have had surgery for skin tag removal would know about papilla removal? How long is postop recovery time?
Thanks
