Anal Fissure: secreting mucous after surgery Posted: 10-12-06 13:46pm
I recently had a surgery on my anus for
anal fissure. There was post
operation pain and fair continuous
intermittent bleeding for two weeks
after which it healed, followed by
consistent mucus excretion everyday
till now, which spans about three weeks
already. i felt the inside lining
of my anus having a small lobe which i
think is a haemorrhoid which
in the past i did not feel it of this size
(about 2mm approx dia). The
mucus secretion is rather irritating as i
often felt the wetness during
any physical activity. i wish for
professional medical advice as i had
a dispute with my hospital over a previous
bill and wonder if i can get
haemorrhoid treatment on a personal basis
or perhaps buy chemicals
such as sclerosant to inject myself for
the removal of the haemorrhoid.
If not, perhaps any recommended treatment
or treatment center or any help would do,
thanks.
According to the symptoms you describe
(consistent irritating mucus secretion
from the anus), you might be experiencing
rectal inflammation (proctitis). It is
probably a complication from the fissure.
Proctitis is usually treated with local
antiseptics and antibiotics. You HAVE TO
inform your surgeon about this. The
“small lobe” in the anus HAS TO be
seen by a doctor
(internist-gastroenterologist or abdominal
surgeon), first and then a proper
treatment can be recommended. If it is a
hemorrhoid nodule, sclerotisation therapy
is one of the possible treatment options,
as is surgery and medications.
