| Re: Had surgery for fissure-still having problems
Diva, if I were in your shoes, I would seek a second opinion from another colo-rectal surgeon. Get a referral from a doctor you trust: your ob/gyn, internest, etc. I can't imagine why your surgeon would do the sphincterotmy and not do a fissurectomy at the same time.
I also battled a fissure and hemorrhoids for more than a decade. My fissure was actually located between 2 internal hemorrhoids. According to my surgeon, there was no way my fissure was going to heal with just the sphincterotomy alone. If I had just had the fissure and not the hemorrhoids, he would have done the shpincterotomy with a fissurectomy. Unfortunately, I needed the hemorrhoidectomy as well.
Are you having pain with the bleeding?
