I can understand why you are exhausted after going through multiple procedures. Persistent anal pain 4 months after fissure surgery, especially when it is severe enough to require two sitz baths every day and is accompanied by lower-abdominal/pelvic pulling or burning pain, deserves a fresh clinical assessment. Complete healing after fissure treatment can take several weeks, but persistent symptoms beyond the expected healing period should be reassessed rather than automatically attributed to the old fissure. The absence of bleeding or pus is reassuring, but it does not completely exclude residual fissure, sphincter spasm, scar-related pain, pelvic-floor dysfunction or another pelvic/colorectal cause.
The history of eating slate pencils during college is very unlikely to explain your current anal pain years later, particularly if you stopped the habit. Your current symptoms are much more likely to be related to the anorectal/pelvic condition or another cause that needs examination.
Next Steps
Considering your history of five surgeries, significant weight loss and ongoing weakness, I would strongly suggest a one on one direct consultation with proper examination. The important question now is not simply âDo I need another operation?â but âWhy am I still having pain after the previous procedure?â A careful examination can determine whether the fissure has actually healed and whether there is persistent sphincter spasm, scar tissue, pelvic-floor muscle involvement, infection or another cause. Persistent anal pain warrants examination for alternative diagnoses rather than repeated surgery without establishing the cause.

Health Tips
Continue keeping the stools soft and easy to pass, maintain adequate fluids and fibre, and avoid straining or prolonged sitting on the toilet. Warm sitz baths can be continued if they provide relief; needing them does not necessarily mean that another surgery is required. Because you have already lost 20 kg and feel increasingly weak, focus on adequate nutrition and gradual recovery rather than restricting food further. Please seek prompt medical assessment if the abdominal/pelvic pain becomes severe or progressive, or if you develop fever, vomiting, inability to pass stool/urine, new swelling, pus/discharge or significant bleeding. Most importantly, please don't assume that another surgery is inevitable. Your persistent pain needs a proper diagnosis first, and there are situations where non-surgical or sphincter-preserving approaches can be considered depending on the actual cause. Thank you
