I had a routine pouchoscopy today and my gastroenterologist said that I have very mild anal canal stenosis.  She didn't seem to think it was too bad.  I, on the other hand, have been dilating at home for years and am sick of it.  

She mentioned that I might consider dilation in the hospital.  Any insights into whether this is a good and worthwhile treatment?

Scott, it was a quick conversation so I don’t have all of the details yet.  She and I will talk more once I have test results.   I had a flex sig done, which looked good.  Yesterday, I had a manometry with balloon expulsion.  I suspect I did very poorly.  

Depending on those results (it takes at least a couple of weeks), I may have a defecography.
