Another surgery suggested post anal fissure surgery

Dear Patient:
Anal fissures and anal fistula are 2 different things. For what you mentioned, it sounds like a fistula. Bactrim (Sul/TMP) are not made to cover colonic flora, therefore, I doubt will help you; in fact, unless there is an abscess, rarely one can use Ab for this reason. If a fistula is the problem, I would suggest "seton" placement, painful but effective. This way, I have treated many patients with long-term good results.
Good luck,

Does sex after surgery carry any risks?
Dear Patient:
There are missing pieces of information: size of hernia, location, mesh or no mesh, age of the patient, and obviously when doing sex (there is a variety of intensity). READ MORE
Dear Patient:
There are missing pieces of information: size of hernia, location, mesh or no mesh, age of the patient, and obviously when doing sex (there is a variety of intensity). In general terms, sexual activity should not be contra indicated after surgery, as long as you practice it safely, after surgery. For at least a few weeks, the patient should avoid lifting too much weight, therefore, this should not be part of the activity during intimacy.
