Hello everyone my name is Steph. I am a 36 yr old mother of two active teenage boys and married to a very patient man, making me a very grateful wife. I've been a Crohn's patient for 9 years and for the most part its been eventful, and to say the least quite challenging. Just recently I was diagnosed with a fistula on the back end of my rectum to my labia. I suspect I've had this problem for three years, I just could never get a Doctor to order the right scan to prove it. Due to the waiting, I've had, approximately 6 diagnosis of BV during those three years. Finally I got a doctor to hear me out. I now have a Seton Loop, with future plans for a flap. I've had my Seton for two months. Well here is my question, What's next? What are the success of a flap, what are the disadvantages of keeping the Seton for the rest of my life, and finally, what is the chances of my fistula disease progressing. HELP??
