I've had an anal fissure since around August last year, was prescribed the ointment in November but that hasn't healed it. I had a phone appointment with the GP who said he would refer me to the hospital.

A letter has come and it says my appointment is with the rectal surgery clinic! Nobody mentioned surgery and I'm a bit worried, is surgery the only solution or is it likely they'll try something else before that?

I have an appointment on Tuesday for similar after a 4th degree tear, i would assume surgery is the way to go from what i have read. But i won't know till i see the docs. Good luck!
