Hi,
I’ve been dealing with recurrent anal fissures for five years now. I get tearing and bleeding frequently. I’ve seen a slew of doctors and alternative healers trying to find a treatment aside from steroids. I’ve studied yoga and meditation, I’ve tried loads of diets and frankly I’m pretty tired of the alternative approaches. A naturopath, one who prefers the least invasive approaches recommended surgery. It is a simple procedure that should eliminate the problem with very little chance of side effects. Since I have no proof that any other therapy is going to be able to heal the problem (five years of trying…) I’ve decided to go for it.
Then I told a yoga teacher and his eyes got huge and he said, “They are going to cut mula bandah!?!” This procedure cuts the internal anal sphincter which has autonomic innervation. A surgeon will cut it enough that it wont cause tearing in the future but wont allow the contents of my rectum to leak.
Energetically speaking though, am I doing a massive misdeed?
I am so at the end of my rope here.
Any thoughts?
Jason
