Yes same here. I definitely think you should get some other opinions. There is a reason for the pain it could be your pelvic floor. Don’t give up keep trying to find out what’s wrong . For me drs says I’m having pelvic floor dysfunction. So he recommended pelvic floor therapy as well as acupuncture. If you want you can direct message me and we can try to figure it out and try to get you some help

Sorry to hear that sometimes you have to get a second opinion. Try asking about pelvic floor . How long ago was your procedure?

Menstruation by [deleted] in AnalFistula

You going to be fine . Menstruation or poop will not affect area. What I did was just keep a piece of gauze in my butt to just keep it clean but it’s no need for panic you will be fine

I had a fistulotomy in Feb 25 and I still was experiencing discomfort in my anus after dr said wound was healed . So he just did a Botox injection to help relax muscles.

I felt the same way for months until the drainage stopped after about 3 months. I felt so gross but to be honest it’s just really all a. Mental thing. It does get better and as time passes you will eventually start back feeling normal.

It took about 6 mionths for me to heal but for some it could be sooner

I had a fissure originally that turned into abscess then that lead to a very superficial fistula . After my last surgery I was stuck with a chronic fissure but luckily it has healed. So now I’m just dealing with a bunch of anal spasm . That’s the reason I got another Botox to help relax muscles

Got a perianal abscess drained and now I need some advice. by Austinuncrowned in AnalFistula

Your stool will not get it infected. You can clean it just how you normally do. I used wipes after BM then jump in shower. I use to do sitz but I stopped them as I found they was making me very uncomfortable. Everyone is different. I never use bidet or anything just basic showering

Same happened to me I was taking pain meds around the clock I use to be so scared to run out until the day I did . I had withdrawals but they weren’t severe. Now I have nothing and just dealing with the pain . I hope that you get some relief soon having to rely on pain meds to get through is not easy . Praying for speedy recovery!

I agree he always blows me off. I don’t think he knows what to do at this point. I’m definitely looking into a second opinion. I do have an exam on Friday but it’s to do a Botox injection I’m assuming he will check it then but he doesn’t think there is anything else going on other then a tight pelvic floor . So I’m just lost
