HOW TO CURE ANAL FISSURE QUICKLY...

Karen how did your surgery go? My doctor wants me to try botox injections before they try surgery 

Hi Darlene,  After much searching on this site for others experiences, I decided to go for the surgery.  I have written about it since, on the Botox postings a since May 6th this year.  I was fortunate to have a doctor who knew his job, he had been doing it for 25 years.  I was scared to death of having it done, however, I was almost pain free right after the sugery. I've been that way ever since. I no longer have to take any stool softers or other creams I was using before.  Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.

which type of surgery? lateral sphinterotomy? whats its recurrance rate after surgery?

 

Hi Sebahat Touseef,  I had a Fissurectomy/Sphincterotomy done almost two years ago.   I’m assuming you have fissures?  I no longer have any pain everything is normal.  Your question how long it will last?  You have to ask yourself what cause your problem in the first place!  If you get the surgery done,  make sure you eat a healthy diet and avoid what brought on your problem in the first place.   In other words, take good care of yourself.  I wish  you well.  

thankyou so much. i got fissure 44 days back. its for the very first time. i am getting treatment . .2% gtn and laxatives and olive oil by mouth. but its condition is constant. neither getting worse nor healing. 

i am so worried about it. i know its acute stage. i dont wanna let it to be chronic. 

Sorry another question. how long it takes to become chronic/ imposible to heal by medicines.

i am so scared of surgery

There is so much information on this site, have you gone back and read the many testimonies from other sufferers? 

Mine went on for five years getting worse with each year.  Everyone is different, what works for one does not work for another.  All the potions and lotions did not work for me.   Surgery was the only way.   As I wrote before, I’m pain free now.   Right after my surgery, my suffering was over.   

 More I can’t tell you, I’m not a doctor. 

 

Hi can you please share doctor name and location

Thanks for the feedback

Hi Kevin,   Strange that you should ask where my Doctor is! (I’m in the US) I found out last week that the Doctor who did my surgery back in 2014 retired in May of 2015 after 25 years of doing this kind of surgery.  Wish I could be more helpful.

All the best to you.    

 

Just do what I said

With your Botox surgery, did the do anything to the fissure or was it just Botox.

thanks

debbie

Im now due to have botox again after 4 yrs are there other options if this doesn't work ? The first botox seemed to have worked but now is back much worse thanks.

Karen- I have had an on going fissure for a couple of months now where it shows signs of getting better from this new Beta blocker cream I am taking which is supposed to relax the sphrincter muscle, but then it just came back today with lots of blood....Lucky me! 

My question to you is abou the surgery...Can you please explain to me a little more about it?  Do they put you out or do they just use local anastetics and you are awake?  Did you feel anything while the surgery was happening, how long was it and did you have any issues with anastetic wore off?  Lastly...how long did it take after the surgery for your fissure to go away?

Thanks!

 

Hi Schwartzy,

When I had my Fissurectomy/Sphincterotomy  I was completely put out totally asleep.  Felt nothing, after I woke-up, I had no pain.  I had no issues after I woke up.     My fissures where gone, my first BM was two days later and because the doctor gave me instructions what to use for BM (Mineral Oil) don’t know if you are in the UK or in the US, but you can buy the Mineral Oil at any Boots in the UK.   Taking this made my first BM pain free.   Follow instruction on back of the bottle for how much to take.

About the only negative I experienced the first year after surgery, was some tummy bloating which has since gone away.   You may also feel some burning and that depends on the foods you eat.  Foods that have a lot of acidity like fruit can cause that.   

I still read many of the postings on this site since I had my surgery which was back  in 2014 and feel deeply for the suffering some are still going through.  For me, the surgery was the best I could have done to get my life back again after suffering with these horrid fissured for 5 year.   I’m talking about fainting in the bathroom with the bowl full of blood so many times I thought I had cancer.   The fissures were confirmed to me when I had a colorectal  done.

Remember, what works for one person does not always work for someone else but there is some really good advice this forum.   I wish you all the best. 

Karen.

 

I never had botox done only surgery.  

I've had both. Botox a new weeks back that literally worked for three days.

I had surgery yesterday, last night was a very very bad night and I was soaking in a hot tub at 4am. I think I just let the pain get ahead of me. Hopefully, in a few days I'll be feeling much better.

Sharon .It took me a good two weeks to feel better postop following the sphincterotomy that I had December 30, 2016.I can tell you that after that two weeks I felt like a new person in the nightmare of the five past months is hopefully behind me forever. You will definitely get better from the surgery. Keep taking the pain meds, using stool softeners, drinking a lot of water, and soaking in the tub and you will be better in no time. Please let me know how you're doing hope you feel better soon.

Hi karen will you please tell me after you have the surgery do you have any issues I need to know from a person who had a ready surgery because the dr. Told me that I have to have the surgery or live with it after you have the surgery you have a lot of pain or. Do you stillhave a control of you body thank you and I appreciate if you answer me back

Hey Karen it's Donna . I had the surgery on December 30, 2016 was in a lot of pain prior to the surgery and was in a lot of pain after the surgery but I would do it all over againI feel so much better and I have no residual problems best of luck to you

I need to get this surgery. I went back to the doctor and said that I've hit a wall and surgery will make it way better than what I am now, it won't be perfect, but it'll be so much better and he said tons of people regret not doing it sooner too. I'm just worried about the time after surgery. Is it day surgery? Do you go home right after?

I'm looking into the surgery after trying everything I can also. Sometimes I have good days and I think, "Oh, it's healed" but it's not. I take pain killers almost everyday for a week now and that somewhat helps. But it seems like surgery is the best answer for most people.

Hi carlo01170

I had no issues after surgery.  I was pain free.  I've read a lot about what other's have gone through after surgery, I had none of those problems, like pain.  No leakage or any other problem.  I still think it depends on the doctors skill how well one feels after.  No loss of control  of anykind since the surgery. Best thing I ever did to get my life back after years of terrible pain.

Best wishes to you. Hope I've answered your question. I have to add, my doctor took care to instruct me before the sugery like having a colon test done he made sure my bowl was emptry so I did not have to have a BM for two days. That certainly helped a lot.

Karen. 

you had a good experience compared to many -maybe you had the best surgeon..where do you live and could you tell me the name of your surgeon?  Thanks

Hi yvonney,

I live in the US. However, my surgeon retired two years ago. So can't be of much help.   Best wishes to you.  

Hi Karen,

I'm currently in this situation that has lasted for three months. Can you tell me your experience with the surgery??

Hi angel62788,

I have an anal fissure and had two skin tags and a hem as well. Exactly a week ago I had them removed and the fissure "cleaned up" with a Botox injection.

The pain after surgery is certainly better than pre-surgery. I'm still in pain but as long as my stool is soft it's not as bad as before

Did you take the surgery? What is the condition of it now?

did you have to pay for the surgery out of pocjet. do you think government assisted medical insurance will cover a surgery? do you need a referral for the surgery or can i just goto the doctor that does it? and what type of doctor?

The fact that you healed and still came back to shed light and be so informative makes you an angel! No one hardly ever comes back and gives insight once they have fixed the issues! I have been suffering with anal fissures and skin tags and just complete world upside down for almost 2 years now. Actually I have just been in a state of " I'll never #2 the same way" for a while now. Just because I guess the sphincter muscle does not work properly in these situations and I have zero push, if that makes sense. I'm sure this is entirely too much information, but this is the first site I have found that has given me more insight and info into this. As I have never met anyone who has dealt with this same issue. I'm fairly young and have zero expertise in this area at all. I had a very personal and very odd question. I hope you still answer these, and are willing to answer if you are A. Comfortable doing so and B. Have any experience with the super personal question I am about to ask. Hey I would not ask this if there were more info to access but it seems no one has really asked, or wanted to know or were to scared to ask, and you may not even no the answer to this and that is okay I just have to try.....Soooo after fully healing and i'm sure you'd need to ask your doctor about this before hand after the surgery if this applies. Is anal sex even an option? Or is it just something you just have to steer clear of to keep a healthy happy bum? 

Any information you have is majorly appreciated! You are already a Goddess for even visiting this site as many times as you have since being fully healed!!
