| | I would think in a way, LIS for fissure prone Moms makes good sense, but I am probably speaking way out of my field, here! |

| Hi Beccy!
Sorry you have been suffering for so long. I can relate - have have had all sorts of bum issues off and on for 15 months. 
If the creams are not working, you need to take a second step - botox or LIS. I used nifedipine and that did not work, so I switched to nitro. The nitro has been a savior to me and I have been pain free for about 2 months.
I have seen 2 CRS's and they both said that I can have more children if I choose to have LIS surgery. Actually - they both said it would be ok to have vaginal deliveries. This however, I am still not sure about, so I think I am going to opt for a C-Section next time. I think it would be wise to get a second opinion.
Welcome to the board! I love this place! Without it, I don't know if I could have made it this far!  |

| | Thank you for all your opinions on the LIS- I think I may have to get a second opinion for sure. I'd be willing to have anything for a fissure-free life! I was saying to my mum the other day that it's so strange having to already think about childbirth when I still feel like a child myself! But I am so glad that you guys are offering all this super advice! xxx |

| | my own opinion is that people with chronic fissures have sphincters which are too tight and with LIS they are loosened to a normal level the same as everyone elses. I dont know if thats right though! The LIS worked absolutely wonderfully for me and I just wish I had had it done sooner. |
