Hi guys,
What are your understandings of fissure recurrence following healing?
I have read many things and the chances of recurrence are high following GTN/Botox but extremely low following LIS.
I am on GTN and doing well so far however my CRS has told me the chances of recurrence following healing are 1 in 3. Reading various reports and studies on line suggest this is between 25-40% whereas other surveys have suggested no recurrences at all (at six month follow up).
I have also read that people with longer term chronic fissures are more prone to recurrences than short term (but still chronic) fissures.
Finally I have also read that people since sentinel piles (skin tags) are also more prone to recurrences.
So I am just wondering what everybody else’s experience tells them and what they have been told by their doctors/CRS’s?? Also if anybody else on here is going through a recurrent fissure could I ask how long you had your first one for and how long you were healed before you had the recurrence?
