I wish I had checked this place out before having surgery as I might have raised some questions. According to my medical history, my CRS performed a "Hemorrhoidectomy, Internal and External, with Fissurectomy". I have since read that the latter is no longer considered standard treatment and wish I had known before hand.
I had the surgery six months ago after a few months where my fissure, which I had bleed off and on for more than a decade, started bleeding badly with every BM and began to hurt more and more. The surgery alleviated the pain and the bleeding was immediately better and stopped within a couple weeks. My also a-hole did look funny, I think what they must mean by a keyhole deformity.
Unfortunately after a month or two I started randomly bleeding again after a BM. This has continued since, sometimes going weeks with no issue. Throughout this time I have been taking Metamucil once a day and pretty much have nothing but loose stools - I am sure a firm one would likely make me bleed. When I do have bleeding there is no pain and I have no idea anything has gone wrong until I see red on the toilet paper.
So, wondering if I should go back to the CRS but am also wondering if I need to look elsewhere since this guy apparently went with the out of favor treatment. Alternatively, I'm not really suffering but I don't want to get back to a bad place again like I was six months ago. Any suggestions?
