Hello all,
So I have been dealing with an anal fissure for about a year now. It has been a very long ordeal. I had an LIS with fissurectomy about 4 months ago. Unfortunately, it did not get rid of the fissure, and in addition to this led to a slight "keyhole deformity" (my doctor does not want to officially call it that yet, but that is essentially what it is) because the fissurectomy hole never healed properly. Right now the fissure is worse than it ever was before the surgery, but it has been healing some since Botox.
Here's my current issue: for about 2 months now I have been having some leakage. There is a general wetness back there, which I know is from the fissure, but I also have leakage of a yellowish/green mucous-like substance. I am wearing cotton gauze back there to catch it, and it is a continual issue. In all there is maybe 1/4-1/2 tsp per day (I dont really know how to estimate something like that). My question is, has anyone had a similar leakage because of a fissure alone? Has anyone had this mucous-like leakage?
I ask because if that is common for a fissure I can have some hope that it will stop once it heals. If it is not common for a fissure, then it very much worries me that this is more an anatomical problem that will not be solved when the fissure heals. As a active 27yo, you can imagine that this leakage is quite a downer in my life, to say the least.
This is the first time posting and I'm very much looking forward to hearing from people who have had a similar problem. Thanks!!
