AIN3 (Anal intraepithelial neoplasia)

Just been told that i have AIN3, and referred to a Specialist in London. Trying to find any information on treatments etc. 

Main symptom was urgency to open bowels,very ocasional blood and mucous. GP originally believed it was Crohns or Colitis, as Calprotectin was 400+, colonscopy showed an abnormal area near anal mucosa, and biopsy confirmed the AIN3.

    Hi Worried44yo 

    how are you getting on? 
    I was diagnosed with AIN3 at the dentate line in 2021. I was advised to just kind of watch and wait (weird I know) as most don’t progress onto cancer and the surgical options could cause more issues like scarring etc. 

    Did you have any treatment? I just have to go to the cancer hospital every 6 months for a check up.
