Hi everyone, for all of you suffering from this i hope you get well soon. I just want to share my experience with my fistula. Its all about diet, and fibers. If you cant stick to a healthy diet, start taking psyllium husk. I took that everyday until my fistula closed alone internally.

I'm now on my 6th day of recovery from anal fistula surgery, I have a scheduled weekly checks with my surgeon. I'm taking 2 anti biotics (2x/d and 3x/d) and one pain reliever (taken when pain is untolerable).. my diet includes more liquids, high fiber foods and taking laxative to ease with bowel movement. I can no longer feel the pain and the open wound is getting better. Also, I can now sit comfortably, the only problem is I'm still seeing discharge on my pads that looks like a pus. I read somewhere that it could be coming from the open wound which likely a liquid coat rather than a pus. I hope this heals 100% and no longer suffer with fistula again 🙏 I truly appreciate your content Dr Chang, you are not just educating but building this global community who are wanting to learn more from this illness.

I'm having my first of what will likely be 2 fistula surgeries (according to surgeon) next Thursday. Kind of terrified, but also really sick of my ass leaking. And apparently, the incision and drainage I had in early July didn't completely get the abscess out, so I have a fistula and still have a small abscess. Also, just started the antibiotic Augmentin, and I have a suspicion that was what caused my blood clot, and eventual pulmonary embolism around New Year's last year. This has not been a fun year.

[@janicestayshich9108]

I have had surgery for recto-vaginal fistulas 4 times in my life. The first 2 times ob/gyns did the surgery approaching it from the vaginal side. It held up for several years. The 3rd time a proctologist did the repair approaching it from the rectal side using a "flap" technique. That one held for about 20 years. The last one was done 4 years ago by a proctologist. He did grafting from sphincter tissue to close the fistula and build up my posterior vaginal wall. It worked very well on the vaginal side but not on the rectal side. The post-op pain was far more severe than any pain I've ever had including childbirth. I was back in the hospital 4 times after the surgery with bowel impactions. Although my surgeon said that when everything healed I would have 100% anal sphincter control and I don't. Initially it was about 40% and when I had to go I had to get to the toilet asap or I couldn't hold it. Now it's about 80%. I'm very paranoid about getting constipated or another bowel impaction so I take laxatives or stool softeners every day. Whether it's hard or soft, when stool is in the rectal canal it is still painful every time. I wish that the last surgery had been a flap procedure like the 3rd one or never had it done.

I am up in Calgary Alberta Canada. I have a wonderful very dedicated surgeon. However I’d like to get your opinion on a couple of things if you have time please. I have a very very complex horseshoe fistula I seem to be having a surgery almost every 6 to 8 weeks. My surgeon is asking me to think about and research a stoma. I know it’s a big surgery, my question is, what are your thoughts on the fistulas ultimately closing and drawing up and going away so I do not have any drainage or smell… Or the chance of recurrence of new fistula after stoma surgery. I know there’s no guarantees. I’m just wondering if there’s not much chance of it going away, I am wondering why I would do the stoma surgery I don’t have two places in my body that are painful or potentially at risk for infection and smell. Thank you in advance for your anything you can contribute to me making an informed decision. I’ve had 13 surgeries and on 21 December I’m having a minor one, But it has travelled from one side to the other and it just keeps finding new tracks. Merry Christmas to me, right!

What do you recommend if you feel like your ceton drains are digging into your skin and causing more pain than the actual fistula? The cetons are still needed bc there is still drainage, but are becoming painful. The last time I told my surgeon, he said there was nothing he could do.

[@Cal_9696]

*seton

[@1hiphopnow]

The seton feel worst than the fistula indeed

[@RagavKannanYTC]

Keep moving the seaton slightly after every bowel movement. Initially it’ll be difficult and tight. It’ll loosen after a while. The seaton knot is what digs into the skin. After a while you’ll find a comfortable position to keep the knot so as to minimize the pain. I think it’ll happen naturally. All the best with your recovery.

Update: On December 31st, I went to the ER and discovered that the abscess had returned about double the size. I had surgery on it again on January 1st. I still have a small hole from the drain site. As of now, everything is doing better. Praying that the abscess won’t come back again!

[@crystalk98]

I know there are far worse things in life than fistulas but my butthole has got me so down. I finally worked up the courage to do something about mine (with the help of valium because my anxiety is off the charts over all this), so had a fistulotomy 6.5 weeks ago, plus a few hemmeroids banded. Minimal pain & discharge during healing but I think everything is starting to fail again. I never truly felt like my hems were improved and now this morning, blood from the fistula hole, even though it looked like it was starting to heal. Now its sore again. Idk what happened, my CRS said it would be a "really easy fix" and he seemed confident he'd be able to fix it all, because he said it was a simple (small and shallow) fistula. Now he's talking about another "easy fix" procedure (he hasnt named it but I'm guessing its a fistulectomy, more invasive & painful than a fistulotomy from what I've read). 1st post op appointment is in 5 days and go from there. Losing my mind all over again. Was slowly weaning off valium when I thought my fistula was healing but chewing more than ever now. I hate this.

no, after the surgery there are home medications and they require food before being taken. Just pick high-fiber foods in your diet and take laxative if needed to soften your feces which helps ease your bowel movement.

How bad was the pain

Coming up on my 12 week surgical follow up appointment (fistulotomy 9/21). At the 4 week follow-up, I was right where I was supposed to be and told it would probably be another 8 weeks or so until I was good. The week before Thanksgiving, my ass sweat after workouts was normal, so I figured I was almost out of the woods. Then the day after woke up to drainage, not blood and pus, but basically sweat or clear, watery mucus from the fistula site. I've had that every night since, and it has me somewhat concerned. Also, I have IBS and 3-4 BM's per day and it feels like 1, maybe 2 a week can be a bit rough. Had a rough one 2 days ago, followed by blood yesterday. No pain, just blood. Hoping all this is normal, but I will find out next week. I hope so anyway.

Wishing you the best! Please let us know what happens! Just had an advanced flap fistulotomy on Friday myself!

[@cristianfigueroa1959]

Are you okay now? Hope you're doing well!

[@TKFOH]

@cristianfigueroa1959 Thanks for asking. I'm a bit confused after yesterday. It's been about 12 weeks now. Had my follow-up and they said it looks completely healed and they don't see evidence of fistula. However, I still get the overnight leakage from that site. They seemed confused by this, like it was impossible, and it's just sweat and would be impossible for me to know that it's coming from that site specifically. But I've been very in tune with my ass the past few months. It's not regular ass sweat. Idk if it's minor incontinence or what. It's not blood, it's not pus, and I don't believe it's feces because it doesn't smell. But, it's not regular ass sweat and is very localized. I know this because I've been monitoring my ass sweat closely as I've eased back into my workout routine. I would really like to know what is causing it and how to address it, but instead I'm being dismissed as fully healed. I know I didn't have this problem pre-fistula. I may seek a 2nd opinion. I am however, thrilled that I dont need another surgery. I would be more thrilled if my ass simply stopped leaking.

[@cristianfigueroa1959]

@TKFOH No problem, man that sounds pretty annoying to have to deal with! I have heard on some reddit threads that some people seen very minor drainage (like a small dot worth) up to 6 months post-op so that may be what you're dealing with here & hopefully it will just stop draining on its own very soon. I'm only 2 weeks post-op from a simple fistulotomy and my drainage has slowed down significantly but when I wake up in the mornings and check the pad there is still small amounts, I'm hoping I'm fully healed within the next 2-3 weeks. This type of surgery sucks & it's hard for others to understand how mentally draining it can be on a person at times. Wishing you all the best and I think the draining will one day just stop on its own! Glad to here that you are technically fully healed though and don't need additional surgery that's the main objective and you did it.

[@TKFOH]

​@cristianfigueroa1959 Thanks fellow bad ass! Lol. I've read what are probably some of the same threads and hopefully that's what it is. That's definitely the worst part. I expected a lot more pain, but aside from maybe days 3 and 4 post op, pain has been pretty mild. I'd say once a week I have a BM that's "less than pleasant", but otherwise recovery hasn't been that bad. Hope yours continues to go well. I'd say I didn't see any pus or blood drainage after about 2 weeks.
