Anal fibrosis or stenosis

2025-07-28 08:20:32
I underwent a laser haemorrhoidectomy in 2022 but the piles didn't shrink completely even after surgery. I reached out to the doctor in 2022, but he said it would shrink, but it didn't. Now for the last 6-7 months, I'm facing difficulties in passing the stools even after on laxatives which might be due to fibrosis or stenosis as I can feel my sphincters could get relaxed that's why I failed to clear my bowels.Please guide me what are possible treatment available for the including immediate and long-term term

Use smuth/cremagel ointment and using a finger glove, daily twice dilate try to dilate your sphincter. It might work. And do kegels exercise.  It strengthens your pelvic floor muscles and helps yu to push out stools easily.

try this. dietary fibre and hydration. if it doesn't settle, see a surgeon.
Health Tips
you can try this only if it's not bleeding now.

Dear all, This is nothing but the "IATROGENIC FISSURE IN ANO" Let us compare the  Fissure I ano with Post Haemorrhoidectomy status FISSURE IN ANO Superficial Mucosal breach in the perianal region, itself is intolerable with agonizing burning pain During Haemorrhoidectomy, we are cutting perianal mucosa along with severing of  sphincters invariably, which may extend from minimal to severe depending upon the  competency & experience of the surgeon. However we are injuring anal sphincters, which is not avoidable, i.e we are creating deep fissures at 3 sites. For proper healing of this wound, patients may require periodic and continuous follow up minimum on a weekly basis for the next 3 months. If it is not done, severed  mucosa and sphincters goes for chronic inflammatory fibrosis and anal stenosis, which may cause severe symptoms The follow up is tackled with proper PR examination, anal dilatation if needed along with CCB  blockers for L/A I used to follow "LATERAL SPHINCTEROTOMY ALONG WITH  HAEMORRHOIDECTOMY"  in advance to avoid future Anal stenosis/ IATROGENIC FISSURE induced complications However this patient may need one more surgery to alleviate the symptoms . This will be confirmed only after proper PR, if needed Proctoscopy.
Next Steps
Kindly consult qualified and competent Surgeon Thank you
