4th degree tear complications?

Hi,
I have alreadfy started praying for you. Procedure for this is scary and panful but if it doesn't self heal that's our option. I am sure that since ours are all obstetric fistula, it will heal on first go itself.
But plz plz plzzz take 100% rest, clear water diet, and take healthy food (especially fish oil capsules) for healing after surgery as this is a tough procedure according to docs.
I supplemented my procedure with Homeopathic healing pills such as Arnica, fish oil etc. So after the procedure besides taking their antibiotic and things like that, also try good foods and if possible, other holistic measures.
But these are applicab le only if you have a surgery. I am praying and hoping that you won't even need one!!
I will pray for self healing.

Take care
Paddu

Hi DRMUNA,
If you have a homeopathic or naturopathy clinic nearby ask them for pills for natural healing. Believe me they have cures for almost all ailments!!
Also, sitz bath try googling n see if calendula is good..I used it on my stiches for reducing inflammation n infections.
Good luck. I will pray for u.
Take fish oil for general healing!!

Hi,
Why is the surgery in rush? I thought they were going to let it heal for a month or two before deciding on the surgeyr?
Also, did you research if the surgeon is best and has done these surgeries before?
If all are set, then good luck.I will pray for your recovery
Have fish oil, take ur antibiotics, use calendula in sitz bath for avoiding infection, drink lots of water, avoid constipation.

Take care

Hi,
Fish oil is awesome for internal inflamations, healing.
Also, take lots of vit C, essential for immunity and strong tissue formmtion. Same goes for protein. I was religiously taking tonnes pf vitc everyday.Even now i do..
Important- never constipate.
Eat good fiber rish food such as spinach, figs etc.
Sitz bath- I added calendula drops to prevent infection. Its herbal, so no side effects. Try it to buy online.
Good luck n my prayers r with u.
