Exercising after Fissurectomy
Q: Its a year since my Fissurectomy during which there was little irritation from time to time.
I did not have any walking or exercising. Now I feel better so a week before I joined aerobics and mild stretching
excercise. I felt cycling was giving me discomfort so I stopped it. For the last 2-3 days the skin at anus and around itches and gives burning sensation. Climate here is little hot too.
What can I do to relieve these itchings?
A:
1.perspiration causes itching. use cotton undergarments and liberally use talcum powder (I find that monistat medicated powder works great for me. No frangrance and the medicated part I think just refers to the zinc it it.)
Aloe would be fine as long as you don’t let the area be too wet. Should let it dry
2.gradually increase intensity and duration of exercise over a period of time
I experience the same problem with biking. I think it’s all the friction and rubbing so I do the treadmill instead.
I found a wonderful chafing relief powder gel by monistat that really helps with the friction part. I had LIS and my fissure healed but I still have some discomfort now and then. The CRS doesn’t know exactly what it is yet, could be scar tissue, but I have to wait 3 months and go back and get revaluated. Good luck and don’t give up on your desire to
exercise. Just find something you like to do that doesn’t cause you too much discomfort.
