Guys, what types of carbohydrates should I eat to avoid constipation or increased stool volume? I'm kind of tired of eating only mashed potatoes, oatmeal, or bananas... I've completely lost the pleasure of eating because of this condition. I miss eating a hamburger or something like that...
Gente, quanto tempo depois de começar a aplicar nifedipina eu posso sentir uma melhoria significativa? Estou usando há 9 dias e ainda não senti uma melhoria significativa... Continuo tendo espasmos durante o dia, o que é bastante desconfortável... Não sei se estou sendo apressado.
I'm 7 weeks post-fistulectomy, and during this time I've been avoiding sitting as much as possible, only allowing myself to drive for a few minutes. Not because of pain, but because I'm afraid it might hinder healing, as I don't feel pain when I sit. I don't know if I'm being too radical. Is sitting detrimental to healing? I really miss playing on the computer and studying sitting down again instead of lying down... My wound only has a small open hole the size of a pea or smaller, and the discharge is minimal.
Hey everyone, has anyone experienced swelling at the edge of a fistulectomy/fistulostomy scar after bowel movements? I've noticed that after a bowel movement, I have swelling at one edge of the scar, which isn't there the next morning. I also feel a slight irritation during the day at that swollen edge. Is this normal?
Hi everyone, what are the main signs of fistula recurrence after surgery? I'm 7 weeks post-fistulectomy, the surgical wound is almost closed, with only a small opening near the anus. However, this morning I noticed a swelling starting next to that opening. When I run my finger over it, I feel a little pain, but nothing too strong. It doesn't throb or burn, just a slightly painful swelling to the touch. Has anyone experienced something similar?
Hi everyone, Has anyone else experienced a fissure caused by a fistulostomy? I had a fistulostomy 6 weeks ago, and I've noticed that a part of the wound closest to the anus isn't healing completely. I still have a yellow/greenish discharge in that area, and my doctor said it's a fissure caused by the fistulostomy surgery, causing pain for hours after bowel movements. Has anyone experienced this and recovered? Did you need another surgery?
Guys, I had a fistulectomy 6.5 weeks ago, and I still have a small open area near my anus that continues to drain yellowish/greenish discharge. Has anyone had drainage for this long and still healed?
Hello everyone, I'm new here. I recently had a fistulectomy and I'm 6 weeks post-op. The wound itself is almost closed, only a small, deeper opening near the anus is taking a little longer to heal. However, since the 3rd week, I've started experiencing pain for hours after defecating. At first, I thought it was because of the surgery, but then I started to think I had developed a fissure. I wake up feeling great, almost pain-free, but when I go to the bathroom I feel a slight pain at the beginning of a bowel movement. As soon as it's over, I take a warm sitz bath, but 30 minutes later I feel like my anus is contracted. I start having sharp pains that last about 6 hours; these pains are like stabbing pains. It gets worse if I stand and improves a little when I lie down, but I don't see blood in my stool. Would these be clear symptoms of a fissure? Even without bleeding? I went to the general practitioner, he barely examined me and said I had a fissure, and prescribed 2% diltiazem. Does this medication really help with healing?
I underwent a fistulectomy 5 weeks ago. Today the wound is well filled, however there is still a very small opening near the anus that I see is having more difficulty filling, and yellowish discharge is still coming out of it. Has anyone else noticed that this part closest to the anus takes longer to close?
Estou no inicio da semana 6 pós fistulectomia, ainda há drenagem leve/moderada, amarelada clara e as vezes verde bem clarinho, sempre na mesma quantidade, não aumenta com os movimentos intestinais e nem diminui. Porém tem uma coisa que está me deixando doido e me fazendo pensar "Será que falhou?". Sempre depois das evacuações eu fico por umas 3 ou 4 horas com fisgadas e latejamento dentro do anus, eu tinha um pouco disso antes da cirurgia, então está me preocupando muito, e já estou assim faz 15 dias. Na ferida em si eu não tenho dor, a dor é dentro do ânus mesmo. Alguém já passou por isso ou está passando? Será que é normal do processo?
Pessoal, é normal 5 semanas após a fistulectomia ficar com um pouco de dor no ânus após as evacuações? Depois de evacuar eu sinto uma dor leve que passa em 2 minutos, mas depois a região permanece levemente dolorida durante umas 4-5 horas, alguém passou por isso? É normal mesmo após 5 semanas sentir isso ainda?
