Hello, I'm new here, not new to fissures though...
I've had issues since about 17 off and on and was finally diagnosed at 21 after my 1st daughter. Had issues off and on until I got pregnant again 18 months after my first birth and fissures healed and I became regular. After baby #2 about a month later I tore very badly and have been trying to heal that fissure the past 3 months. After trying various ointments and dietary changes things looked like they were healing, but then it flared up again. Now my doctor wants to do surgery (LIS) but I'm extremely nervous to undergo surgery so young.
My main concern is that I would like to have more children, home birth if possible. is there anyone in this group that has had an LIS and went on to give birth vaginally without causing incontinence?
