Don't know how that happened. They cut a muscle to relax the spincter so the fissure can heal and to lessen the chances of getting another. I think that was a chemical (can't think of which one right now) they put on the gauze.

Of all the medical fields, I wonder how one chooses to be a proctologist. Hmm...
