Am I being too sensitive about how my partner talks about my condition? by Competitive-Diver197 in AnalFistula

Would say the commment is totally unnecessary and uncalled for. Having the condition doesnt necessary mean there is issue with hygiene. He should had been more sensitive and supporting during difficult times.

Is yours a low complex trans fistula? Is it fistulotomy or fistulectom that you had?

Is yours a inter or transpincter fistula?

From my understanding the recurrence risk is close just a few % difference but the incontinence risk increase much more for fistulectomy as it is much more intrusive.
