The Fissure King seeks advice

Is the fissure visible? Or is it inside? Normally a wound stings more when it's open to the world.
Apparently, there's a structure in the area called the pectinate line (or dentate line
). This is about 1/3 of the way up one's exhaust manifold and any problem south of it (e.g. an external hem) will be painful.This suggests it's external (but not as we know it).
I have had 3 fissures. Tried lots of ointments but for me surgery was the only way to fix them. Each time the soreness went about 5-6 days after the op. The operations were all done by the same general surgeon.
A couple of years ago I saw a specialist 'arse doctor' (I'm sure there is an official title.) He put me on medication for irritable bowel and told me to stop using all ointments. With the medication and some changes to my diet I have been able to control matters and no more fissures.
My advice is to see a professional 'Consultant Arseologist' and NOT a general surgeon.
Good luck mate.

AFAIK, a 'Consultant Arseologist' is called a proctologist. But I can't for the life of me figure what leads anyone into this profession
The appointment I have will be with 'Colorectal' at the hosp. It's with a Miss C. Bronder, or a member of the clinical team. I really couldn't care less who I see, provided the outcome's good.

Strange. So it's related to digestion then?
Thinking back I have actually had 4 dissure operations. The first was when I was a very young man with a poor diet and consequent constipation. I had forgot about that one. More recently the problem seems to be down to irritable bowel IBS.This guy came up with the best solution for me - http://www.nuffieldhealth.com/consultants/miller-r...
I love how medications are sometimes named so as to leave no guessing required as to your ailments.
It must raise eyebrows in Morrisons when Sandra on til three put a tannoy call out for a price on bummedtobreakingpointaline.
Also, proctology, although maybe a niche career choice must be pretty rewarding. Any ailment that deprives one of a leisurely, satisfying dump must be pure misery. Helping cure that is no bad thing at all.
