How long is the recovery time for fissure surgery before returning to work?

Hi Ashraf,

Thank you for your question.

The recovery time after fissure surgery varies slightly based on individual healing and the nature of your work.

✅ Most people can return to office work within 3 to 5 days after surgery, especially if the job is desk-based and doesn't involve heavy physical activity.
✅ If your work involves physical labour or prolonged sitting, you may need about 7–10 days for a more comfortable recovery.
✅ It's important to keep the area clean, follow your doctor's post-op care instructions, and avoid constipation to promote healing.
✅ Pain and mild discomfort can last a few days but are usually manageable with medications and a sitz bath.

It's best to consult your surgeon, who can give you the most accurate advice based on your healing progress and work requirement.
