Post-Fissure Surgery Recovery – What to Expect & How to Speed Up Healing
Undergoing fissure surgery is a big step toward a pain-free life, but proper post-operative care is essential for a smooth and fast recovery. Many patients wonder:
How long does healing take?
What foods should I eat or avoid?
When can I return to normal activities?
Are there any risks of recurrence?
At BariOSS Clinic, Tirunelveli, we ensure that our patients recover quickly after Laser Fissure Surgery, with minimal discomfort. This blog will guide you through what to expect after surgery and how to heal faster.
Day-by-Day Recovery Timeline
🔹 Day 1-3: Mild soreness and discomfort, but manageable with medication.
🔹 Week 1: Gradual improvement in pain, with normal activities resuming.
🔹 Week 2-3: Complete healing for most patients, with minimal restrictions.
💡 Laser Surgery patients heal faster (within 24-48 hours) compared to traditional surgery (2-3 weeks).
