My embarrassing *tmi* surgery

**Party-of-five** · March 14th, 2011, 10:33 AM

So I wasnt going to share this but I figure when Im feeling sore and sorry for myself it will be you guys I turn to for comfort

I have to go to hospital on wednesday for the removal of a pilonadil sinus on my

butt crack

I finally worked up the courage 2 weeks ago to go to the gp about a boil that has bothered me for years expecting a course of ABs not a referal to a surgeon. I saw the surgeon on friday, he explained fully my embarrassing problem and booked me in for

wednesday. I have to stay in the night

and it takes about 2 weeks to heal because of the position and is quiet painful

to explain the "area" better...it the bit thats revealed if your pants are a bit low and you been over

I refuse to take codine as it makes me constipated and I dont want to be dealing with that as well so Ill just have panadol and nurafen as my best friends for the next week.

I just feel embarrassed that I have to go to hospital for this

Hugs not nice for you, don't be embarrassed it's more common that you think.

Good luck I hope you recover quickly, you could take codeine drugs and take a stool softner as well so you get on top of pain quickly and effectivly.

At least it's up the top of your butt crack and not the bottom!

Good luck on Wednesday xxxx

My dad has this, and so do I hun - I know how you feel re embarrassment, but the sooner you get the surgery, the sooner you'll be out of pain

my DP has this problem, it is re occuring as he refuses to have the surgery, he has them drained at times, most times as soon as he feels it swelling, he gets a script for ABs filled.

One thing he has been doing for awhile (since the last drainage, over xmas,about 3 years ago now, had to have it packed and re packed every day :/ until it healed, wasnt nice AT ALL!)
Is to wipe his bum with dettol after every BM. (and up the crack) he hasnt had it swell up since.

are they doing the whole skin graft thing?

My dad had it between A and B if you know what I mean

gl with your surgery

**OceanPrincess** · March 16th, 2011, 04:09 PM

Oh oh oh - I'm another sufferer!! Pg makes mine worse, something to do with the hormones. I've had two nasty ones - the second one I had to had checked by a colorectal surgeon, OMG how embarrassing sitting in his waiting room with all these greying men getting their colons checked

I'm really interested to know how you go hun. The surgeon said if I have another flare up I need the surgery...

**Party-of-five** · March 23rd, 2011, 11:06 PM

just thought Id update for those that are interested in my behinds progress....

surgery wasnt that bad I slept thru it

the drugs at the push of a button where awesome
the showing of my tush to anyone that walked past not so great
having to pull sticky dressing off my tender bits again not so great
riding the I got a sore bum simpathy train...fantastic

seriously it wasnt as big a deal as I had worked it up to be Im now looking forward to never having to deal with that nasty issue again
I would urge anyone with an embarrassing problem to have a chat with the doctor It might not be as bad as you think

**sarah85** · March 23rd, 2011, 11:08 PM

So glad to hear all is well!

A friend of mine has a skin tag on her behind that she wants to get rid of - I'll encourage her to go along to her Doc to talk about it!

Oh I hear you on embarrassing surgery in sept last year I had varicose veins removed from my vagina. Two nice 5-9 cm horizontal incisions both side.

Was so much fun. NOT

But so worth it.

Glad yours went well and hope you heal well.

Hmm sounds good PO5. If it happens again, might need to look into it.

What did they actually do?

How's the recovery going?
