Introduction to sequelae of anal fistula surgery

Anal fistula is a disease that troubles many patients in daily life. It is common for them to feel nothing when defecating. This caused a lot of trouble to my friends. After anal fistula surgery, you may experience sequelae. Next, I will introduce to you some treatments and symptoms of sequelae of anal fistula surgery.

Anal incontinence: In clinical practice, complete anal incontinence after anal fistula surgery is very rare and requires repair surgery; what is commonly seen are incomplete anal incontinence and anal sensory incontinence, which can only be treated conservatively and by strengthening anal function exercises.

Wet anus or leakage of small amounts of loose stool: This is due to excessive surgical scars causing the anus to not close tightly, and patients often have a scar-prone constitution. Over time, the scars may soften and the sequelae may disappear. It’s just that this time period varies from person to person. For example, it will be longer for diabetic patients.

Anorectal stenosis: due to complex fistulas and large-area scar contracture

The above is an introduction to anal fistula surgery and its sequelae. Most of them are caused by unprofessional doctors or improper postoperative care. Therefore, when we have anal fistula surgery, we must choose a professional hospital and doctor. If we follow the doctor's instructions after the surgery, we can avoid the sequelae of anal fistula surgery.

After understanding the sequelae of anal fistula surgery, I suggest that all friends face the disease actively in life and choose when to have a good recovery period. Do not let the surgical wound become infected to prevent any sequelae.
