Questions to ask

I’m not going to see you again, so these are fairly important to get answers to.

I am not having anal sex for now. When can I start doing that?
Is there a higher risk of recurrence if I continue to have anal sex? Is there a resource I can use to learn what I should do differently going forward?
Is there a way I can figure out whether I’m at risk for future injuries like a fistula? I had an anal abscess when I was like 9 months old. Maybe a pattern?
- Should I get long term checkups about anal related things?
So with you, I had a surgery under anaesthesia, not a huge deal but also nothing to sneeze at. Now that I’ve scarred over mostly, is there anything this makes me more vulnerable to? Future conditions? Anal fissure? Future fistulas? Recurrence of this fistula?
Lastly: what’s the worst possible scenario you can imagine for me at this point? I’m guessing it’s nothing immediate, but in the longer term what should I be watchful of?
- I am going camping in a week without showers. Will that be fine?
Generally what have you seen with patients in my situation?
