If a simple procedure called a “lateral internal subcutaneous sphincterotomy is performed correctly there should be a minimal downtime of a few days!

However, finding a specialist who has experience with this procedure can be daunting. The success of this 5 minute surgery is specifically related to experience! Done incorrectly can be a disaster!!
Every human being is different. Anal fissures are extremely painful, most patients feel much better after the surgery. Of course, rectal surgery is painful. On average, most people can go back to their regular lives 2 weeks post-op. However, for people that have very active, physical jobs it may take up to 6 weeks to be able to return to work.
All Surgeries cause pain to some level. Pain is normally well controlled during and after Surgery. Optimize yourself prior to Surgery by taking Alive MVI gummies for men or women daily. Vitamin D3 softgel 7,000 IU daily now brand. Magnesium citrate softgel 400 mg daily, NOW brand. Evening Primrose Oil 1,300 mg softgel, 3 softgel bid, Nature’s Way brand.
