It has been 3.5 month since I am suffering from my AF. And unfortunately it is already chronic.
I am 31, male, had an external hemorrhoids removal in March. And after almost a month after the surgery I was constipated and that is how I got my fissure. It is not healing and I regret that I did that operation in March. But luckily I don’t feel much pain as most people on this forum (perhaps for now). Only some minor pain during bm. I can sit normally during the whole day but I can’t live a normal life.
I am using nitroglycerin ointment but it doesn’t help much. I eat mostly vegetables and soups, oatmeal and drink a lot of water. I have lost weight and had to buy smaller clothes because my old is too big for me now.
I don’t know what to do next. It seems that diet itself doesn’t heal me. I would like to try different ointments like diltiazem or nifedipine, but it is not being sold in my country and I don’t know where to buy them online. Do you have any suggestions?
I don’t want to make surgery but it seems that I have no choice. As an alternative I can see Botox. Could somebody, who had experience with it explain more clearly what is this? Will I be able to control my bm or not and for how long? Why it is not as popular as LIS? As I understand it has temporary action and LIS is for the whole life. I will be very happy to hear your thoughts about it.
I contacted two clinics in Germany and asked them about surgery. In one they do scar tissue removal and you can go home. You don’t need to be hospitalized, but must be out of work for 7-10 days. In another they do the same and also make botox injections and you also go home. I was told that they don’t cut the muscle. So it is not LIS (I think). They told me that in Europe they only cut the scar tissue. The muscle is being cut in USA. What do you think of this king of surgery? What should I choose: scar tissue removal or scar tissue removal with Botox or only Botox? What will I be doing at home after an operation without being supervised by medical personal?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice
