Hi all, I'm new to the group and just looking for any advice that may help in my recovery.
Last year I had a colonoscopy due to being severely anaemic for the previous two years in a row ( still severely anaemic again now). All was clear but shortly after I began experiencing intense pain and was diagnosed with thrombossed heammoroids. I was referred to a colorectal specialist who diagnosed both internal and external heammoroids and anal skin tags.
I received banding for the internal ones followed by surgery to remove the external skin tags. That was over three months ago and following an incredibly painful recovery period during which my surgery sites became infected three times, I have now been diagnosed with an anal fissure.
The colorectal surgeon prescribed me with the nitrate cream but unfortunately this made me very unwell for the three days I used it, so now I'm at a loss as to what I can do to try and get my bottom area 'back to normal'. Any advice would be greatly appreciated- it's been a long and painful three months..!!!
