hi all I’m going in for surgery in 2 weeks time for extensive vin 3 and wanted to ask do any of you know if the surgeon checks around the anus while under anaesthetic? I ask because for the last couple of years I’ve had 3 large lumps near my anus, I always assumed these were piles but no matter what cream i use they never shrink or go away, I also have a skin tag, I don’t know if I should go to my gp or do I wait until I’ve had surgery? I do get some bleeding from the back passage and also a lot of mucus(but I have ibs so assumed it was because of that!). I have my pre op next week so should i mention it then? Thanks xx
