Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience … I had an anal fistula that was repaired 1.5 years ago. I started having the sensation that I was passing gas in an abnormal way again. I was pregnant at the time so it took awhile to get back into my colorectal surgeon who didn’t see a new or recurrent fistula. Had my sedated exam today and he said that where the fistula opening was inside me was “dimpled” and he thinks air was getting trapped there and then essentially leaking out later which was causing me to feel like I was still having issues. curious what other people have experienced. he threw a stitch in there with the hope that it helps the area to heal better. I’m a young mom and was not anticipating doing this postpartum too.
