I went to specialist today. I said I had hemmies after giving birth 5 months ago....They are shrinking but veeeery slowly. And I also said I had pains for 4 months until about 2-3 weeks ago that he agreed would be due to a fissure. He then did a quick external examination (2-3 seconds), could not see fissure and could not see hemmies externally. So he said fissure is healed (I mean really...is it????after 2-3 weeks????people here talk about months!!!) he also said he'd rubber band the hemmies. I said I wanted another baby and I had heard people waiting with that sort of things until children were out of the way. He said he'd do it now because it was a very uncomplicated procedure...anyyone had any experience with this???
He also told me to come off stool softeners because I was too young to use them. I really want to come off them but am scared about what it can do to my poos and re-tear fissure...?? It's been soooo nice to have 2 weeks pretty much pain free that I don't want to do anything risky.....
All in all I'm not sure if I trust him very much and so I hope someone here can convince me if I should see someone else or do what this man said.
Thanks :D
