Suggest Remedy For Fissure Near Rectum

My Doctor advised me that I have a Fisher. He tells me that I have two small holes on one side of my rectum that should be cut out and closed with stitches. He also told me that it is very dangerous for infection and should be removed as soon as possible. Also he is referring to a surgeon and requesting a colonoscopy at the same time.Should I be getting a second opinion? What do you recommend I get done?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Fistula in ano rather fissure.
Consult surgeon and discuss about this problem.
Opening of sinus in anal canal requires utmost care for opening canal and tracing multiple canals, otherwise recurrence is common.
Ok and take care.
