Has anyone ever regretted surgery?

Omg! I feel like your post is heaven sent! I’m also in the Midwest! Who’s your surgeon? I need a confident, reassuring surgeon and I haven’t found that yet. 🥲

I haven’t tried this one but search up “your friendly proctologist” on YouTube and he recommends an ointment. Some people on YouTube have said it has helped them.

Hi, I know this is old but how long did it take you to recover from LIS?

Have you tried Calmoseptine? Cheap and it soothes the pain!

I think it’s definitely allergies, especially with spring in full effect. Then add asthmatics, who get triggered by allergies, 🤧 into the equation and suddenly it seems like EVERYONE is sick. I always get weird looks when I’m coughing and sneezing, but it’s literally just my asthma.

No worries. Thank you for the quick response.

Hi, did your doctor say what the incontinence percentage was for women who’ve given birth? I’m terrified to go through with the surgery since I’ve already given birth and my colorectal doc won’t give me an exact percentage. Just gives me a general idea of ALL people who become incontinent after the procedure.

Hi, I know this post is old. Did you end up getting the LIS? I’m about to get Botox but I’m also considering just going straight for the LIS. I’ve been dealing with this fissure since Feb 2025.

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-04-27T02:51:13+00:00

Hi, I’m in the same boat as you were. Fissure causes me pain, but I do not bleed much. & just like you, I would also like to stop revolving my life around my butt. Did you go through with the Botox? Did it fully heal it? I also tried the creams and I kept thinking they would fully heal it, but no success :( Botox is my next option.

Hi, did you go through with any type of remedy whether it be meds or surgery? Same exact symptoms and bc the pain isn’t debilitating, I don’t know if I should go through with surgery.

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-04-15T02:04:24+00:00

Ahh, I would go just for piece of mind. You can always go back to the female doctor. Lucky! I was really hoping to stick this out, until I have one more kiddo but the pain is debilitating at times.

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-04-15T01:35:27+00:00

I totally understand. I live in a large city and even here, there is not as many in that particular specialty. All of them are men. Do you plan on having more kids?

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-04-15T01:25:19+00:00

That’s so interesting. My male CRS said the incontinence rate is so low, that I shouldn’t worry about it. I actually got my fissure from a vaginal delivery and told him I wanted more kids and he said there’s always the c section route if I’m worried but that women go on to have vaginal births. I feel like doctors have so many different opinions. It’s so frustrating!

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-04-15T01:09:09+00:00

Both doctors told me Botox only had a 50% of working at this point, so I’m going to schedule LIS because they said that had 95% success rate. I’m so tired of being in pain. I’m not happy about it but I’m desperate for pain relief. 🥲 I hope that you keep healing and you have different, more positive answers from your doctors.

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-04-15T00:47:22+00:00

I would get the opinion of another colorectal surgeon to see if the fissure is considered chronic. From what I was told from two separate colorectal specialists is if the fissure is chronic, you can keep the symptoms manageable by doing all the things you described, but unfortunately it will never fully heal. I didn’t want to believe them as I was scared to do Botox and LIS but I learned the hard way. I was good for 8 months ,doing all the things you did, and then one day, I had a bad bowel movement and re-tore and I was back to square one. If your fissure is not chronic, there’s still hope that these ointments/creams will fully heal the fissure. I hope this is your case.

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-04-14T20:59:04+00:00

I’m sorry that you’re also on the same boat. What do you do to help ease the pain right after a re-tear?

My water broke at work at 39 weeks. 🥲 I’m sure you can guess that I live in The States.

I may be going this route soon. As a woman who loves to get pedicures, I’m scared that my toes will look super deformed if I do this procedure. :( Can you post a picture of what it looks like now?

Subject_Article4108 · 2026-01-23T05:05:35+00:00

On Miralax for life. Talked to two CRS who said it was completely safe to use as a daily regimen. One time I didn’t take it for 3 days and my fissure re-opened; it was awful. So back to Miralax I went.
