Is there hope for recovery from anal fissures?

[seablu]

When an anal fissure is trated with the seton string due to the location of the fissure being attached to the sphincter muscle, is there any hope for a complete recovery?

I apologize. I have been fine with the fissures unless I have a bad day with my crohns then the area will bleed a little but I have been healed so far from fissures I would say. That has been about 4 yrs now. I was having issues for 3-6 months until the bleeding was soo bad I went and got checked out. After that I would say a couple months  to completely heal up for me. Also witch hazel pads and just witch hazel and T.P works but the pads are more durable. It burns a little but helps in the end tremendously. I am not sure as to what a seton string is; never heard of it.

You didn't say how much time went by & how are you now?

Has any one been healed & got on with life after being treated with the seton string?   I haven't seen anything about positive results written anywhere on line. Please help!

Hey there..I cann only express knowledge about what I went through. I had fissures yrs before I was diagnosed with crohns. I didn't seek medical attn until I couldn't stop bleeding from my bottom. They gave me steroid suppositories to use and after some time went by, they healed. For me it was really bad. Every time I went to the bath room, I was bleeding and it only progressed until it would drip like a bleeding nose. I was unsure and embarrassed I may add, about what was taking place. Hopefully this will shed some light!!
