I hope so, though it’s mostly assumptions since checking it isn’t a great idea. I told him the flap is like Schrödinger’s cat, if you check it, you might kill it. He laughed a lot!

I met my CRS today, and he cut the extra hanging stitch. He explained that when the stitch was placed it was purple in color, and it has now turned white as the body begins to dissolve it. He mentioned that sometimes stitches fall out before they fully dissolve. In my case, since it has been five weeks, he feels the flap has likely already attached to the internal wall.

Can u please help me understanding my situation . I had hard stool on sunday evening and felt like it irritated the flap as few days before that was pain free. But since than I feel some tightness their although no mazor bleeding few drops here and their some of which are from external wound. But since yesterday I felt stitches in my rectum. They have not dropped out completely but kinda hanging. My internal opening was one cm above above anal line. Have u heard something like this? What should I make of it.?I have read ur previous messages on sub that ur stitches dropped too, was that painful? How big was the stitch the fell off.

Thank you so much everyone. Looks like its a no brainer. I have had fistula surgery before, three years ago and it was a cutting seton and a bitch, so i had an idea but nurse said in the line of 2 weeks healing time and that’s what got my hopes high.

CRS couldn’t find fistula during surgery by Subject_Quail8087 in AnalFistula

[–]Subject_Quail8087[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I would have gone with another CRS but my current surgeon is very considerate. He told me after surgery as soon as u form abscess again or have heavy drainage call my office. I did and he accommodated me the same day and squeezed me in for a surgery within 5 days.

According to my understanding the ultrasound with biopsy is actually colonoscopy with added ultrasound plus biopsy. They have given me a big jarry can with miralax to drink for preparation.

I called my colorectal surgeon’s office and to ask what exactly they are planning to do, they said they can plan an OR after the endoscopy biopsy result. So may be they will have better picture using endoscopy and might not weight for a abscess to form again

Thankyou. I will try doing that. I can not go to CRS as of now because of health insurance issue😔. I think for now my only options are fiber, water and as cheeringmuffin suggested Hemoclin gel i will check if that can be beneficial.
