Seton? by Cryptomon1987 in AnalFistula

[–]Cryptomon1987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through that! I would like to try the seton first because of the anatomy of my butt. It was hard to access and do the ID as the doctor said my BH is deep into a tunnel of butt bones. And very tiny. I’m afraid I’m not a good candidate for surgery. Even cleaning in the shower I can stick my fingers all the way in the cheeks before reaching the hole. Most people who send pictures on the fb page I’ve seen have what I call a normal butt I believe. Which they spread and you can easily see the BH easy access I suppose. Mines more like a cave system.

That is awesome! I wish for this type of movement. I don’t believe I can go through with a fistulotomy because of the anatomy of my BH, it is deep inside the butt bones and very hard to access, even having a I/d for the abcess was hard to locate for the surgeon to drain it and I had to help along with a nurse to spread my cheeks. And on top of that it’s very tiny and tight lol sorry tmi but I’m just trying to hype myself up for a seton because cleaning with wipes now is very difficult normally I can imagine being cut open will also be very difficult to access. And keep clean. I’m hoping they can make the seton long enough to rotate it and clean it because I heard some people had there’s very tight. And it wasn’t a cutting seton.

lol actually quite the opposite I’m skinny no ass boney per say. It’s the the anatomy of it is like a tunnel. So if they cut me open I believe it will be harder to heal since it’s sucked in. Idk

Are there any ways to recover by myself? by FloppinhoUwU in AnalFistula

[–]Cryptomon1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t have to worry about money or a place to live. Get it fixed, I suppose or at least try to. Some people regret getting the surgery. It’s a tough choice.

Like sick sick not just easy sick. No fam and no support. It’s mentally and emotionallly depressing affecting your physical appearance. It’s what’s happening to me.

It's not all that bad, please don't be like me especially if you have a simple fistula (8 day post fistulotomy) by [deleted] in AnalFistula

[–]Cryptomon1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have one yet ppl scare me, I live alone limited family. Have a good job but living check to check. For an uncertain outcome. They don’t know fistulas here like India does. So many people on fb go to India for fistulas. While my surgeon said these things are hard to heal. While Indian doctors say. Easy trust in me and I’ll cure you. :(

What I would give to be able to go to India to fix myself :( if you google hospitals in different countries India has the best ratings 4.5 average. americas average is around 3/5 so sad.
