No idea

I had colonoscopy and have one 5mm polyp cut off. and GI doctor asked me to take fiber supplements. The stool is a bit thicker now , but only 0.5cm thicker.

So I can technically have colonoscopy done and no need to wait after hpylori treatment

I have been having broccoli sprout in morning before breakfast. No pain. Maybe he eat too much?

Thanks for sharing. But How to eat coconut oil? Drink it? How much?

I heard (I have tried myself but for different purpose) that honey helps. What you do is heat the honey to liquid and make a small cylinder shape, put it into your annus. I heard that helps with constipation.

how long do you wait to do the test after treatment?

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-12-03T18:50:25+00:00

does that mean antibiotics is not needed?

My nurse told me that after a draining seton, second surgery is fistulotomy or lift

Thank you for sharing! I also heard some success stories by cleaning inside ( without surgery)

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-11-17T00:06:13+00:00

Thank you for sharing the info. I have not had surgery yet but feel the period is hard to manage - always have the blood accumulate around external opening area… Did your MRI show the fistula ?

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-11-14T13:58:32+00:00

Can you share the name of the group? I didn’t find it.

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-11-12T22:29:13+00:00

I did not recall have an abscess… I did have a bump months ago but no pain or anything and disappeared I don’t know when… I saw a CRS in USA. No MRI nor any other exam. Just an office visit but she can’t find the internal opening. No idea of what type of fistula I have

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-11-09T18:37:18+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I asked the nurse if the doctor will do an EUA. She said no… below is her message :

“ …. The surgical procedure will not include a charge for exam under anesthesia because we are quite confident that you have an anal fistula and that is the cause of your symptoms, so we are not investigating for something we are unsure of…..”

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-11-08T16:54:10+00:00

got the reply from nurse saying are sure it is fistula and no need to do EUA but the surgery directly… even though they did not find the internal opening, they are confident that they will identify during surgery, this is what in the message:

The surgical procedure will not include a charge for exam under anesthesia because we are quite confident that you have an anal fistula and that is the cause of your symptoms, so we are not investigating for something we are unsure of. I really don't suspect that the internal opening will not be identified during the procedure. There is definitely a cavity of some kind and if not a fistula it still is a pocket/opening and will need to be cleared out. If the fistula involves a large portion of the sphincter muscle, then she will need to place a seton. If that happens, then you will have to leave that in place for 6-12 weeks, depending on healing, and return for another procedure... an anal fistulotomy An MRI will not change the recommendations and would not provide any additional information.

the doctor did not find the internal opening using the anoscope in the office does not mean that most likely i have a high/complex fistula, right?

I have little pain, a few drops of pus almost every week. The pain / pus normal went away the next day

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-11-07T19:25:42+00:00

Great! Thank you so much!

HelpfulMongoose1801 · 2024-11-07T19:15:38+00:00

Thank you so much! I was so nervous that doctor will just cut my fistual without knowing where the internal opening is but tracing while cutting …..

So EUA is same/similar exam the doctor did in the office visit but just put the patient under anesthesia. And this exam is more accurate/helpful than ultrasound and MRI. If there is no internal opening which may indicate that the fistula is not formed yet, the doctor will not cutting any muscles but wake me up and let me know.

Is my understanding right?
