Hi, I can empathise with you... Yes your mom appears to be suffering from lots of anxiety triggering stressors.... Anal fissure operation although considered minor one but yes troubles lot many people postoperatively either due to pain, anal incontinence etc... See she will be requiring therapy along with medications(changed if required) for right control of symptoms...although every doctor tries best for the patient but yes you can take a second opinion from another Psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and management of the case....It will help...you can reach us for further queries...regards
