To be honest, I think what would happen was (tmi) the irritated tag would go into the hole while there's urge to poop and then be pushed out with force while pooping. So the cut never healed for me. Every 8-9 days the tag would retear. So every 8-9 days it was unbearable, in between it was irritated for few hours after BM..but ok and bearable. I would lubricate with coconut oil before BM and all day long to keep the tag free from friction. It was hard mentally. But then around September I became impervious to that pain. It's all in the mind. I continued to take care but started going on my lunch walks, traveling etc etc without giving the pain a thought. Of course that didn't make the pain go away, but that improved my quality of life. In December I got it removed. Recovery has been uneventful so far, which is good. I'm still not "normal". It's only been 2.5 months. But I hope I will get there. The fissure and hemm pain subsided within 10 days of surgery. Since then I'm battling with healing just the tag excision site. My doc says I'm 95% healed and it's just the open tag excision wound now. It will take time. Overall I suppose I'm glad I got it removed. I have my days, but remember to stay positive and just not give it much thought. Just do whatever you can in your power to have soft poops and keep your mind strong. It's annoying but you're strong. Good luck to the both of us :)
