Neha Bhatia, a 28-year-old software developer...
Neha Bhatia, a 28-year-old software developer and new mother, had been suffering for six months. The sharp, burning pain during and after bowel movements started shortly after her difficult delivery. It became so severe she dreaded eating, fearing the inevitable agony. She felt exhausted and isolated, unable to care for her baby fully. Her general surgeon, Dr. Sharma, explained she had a chronic anal fissure that hadn't healed with conservative creams and diet changes. He recommended a Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS), a minor surgery to relax the tight muscle and allow healing. Neha was terrified of surgery but desperate for relief. The procedure itself, under local anesthesia, was quick. The first few days of recovery were uncomfortable, but within a week, the excruciating pain was gone. After a month, she was completely healed. Emotionally, she transformed from a state of constant anxiety and pain to feeling like herself again, able to enjoy her life and her new role as a mother without the shadow of chronic pain.
