Anul fistula?

I know it's a pain in the ar*e, but has anyone had an anul fistula surgically removed? how bad was your fistula? how often did it leak? how bad was the pain after the operation on a scale of 1 to 10? how long was you off work for? how long did it take to heal?have you had any problems since?was it worth having it removed?the surgeon has told me to have mine removed is a 10 min operation, but 4 to 6 weeks of severe pain, I thought he was just saying that because I have a good sense of humour, but he said it was the truth.
I will enjoy reading your answers (and smart ars* comments)

I am 51 now but had an anal fistula removed surgically ca. 15 years before (July 1991 to be exact). My post op was not painful. The wound is left open - no stitches or anything. It has to close by itself. It took more than a month and still did not close properly. Had to undergo another minor surgical procedure. Every day twice (morning & evening) I used to sit in a basin of salt water to improve the healing - it is called a Sitz Bath if I remember correctly. Till that time had to wear a tampon like a female - yes that is the best thing to keep the bandage in. It was not painful at all for me. The external opening was in a very tricky place - just below the scrotal sac, missing it by a few millimeters. Still have the family jewels intact.

what is it i need to know pleez add

can i have best answer please,,,:)

its true its painful but you really should get it done.

I'm a surgical tech and i've seen this done many times.

we even had this one lady who had to come in multiple times because it wasn't healing..

you really should try to get ready of it as soon as possible before it gets worse.

This lady procrastinated and its gotten so bad that it looks like she has two holes down there.

I had one about 7 years ago. It was leaking constantly and had it removed and it was such a relief. The pain was about 8-9. I was off for about a month (I couldn't even sit!)
It took months to heal and wasn't allowed to do any exercise for years, only now 7 years later I'm ok.
No problems since, but I know people that have had it again and again. It all has to do with the surgeon and whether they've treated that before. My surgeon had operated fistulas before so he knew exactly what to do. I dont' think it will only be a 10 min operation, mine took about half an hour, if not more and had to be completely knocked out. It is really painful yes and you will probably be put on medication after the operation. I was on medication anyway. Painkillers and then other medications to avoid infections, etc.

I have no idea what an Anul Fistula is, but it sounds like something else which I will not mention here for the faint of heart.

i had one it was a real pain in the a+se didnt realy
