Can homeopathy treat anal fistula or are there any non-surgical options to manage it? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible

Most anal fistulas will require surgery to fix. Spontaneous healing is usually followed by recurring infections and abscesses that reopen the fistula. However, if your fistula is caused by inflammatory bowel disease and isn't infected, it'll occasionally heal with medical treatment.
