Question

I'm dealing with a fistula in ano and my doctor mentioned surgery as an option. Are there any non-surgical treatments available?

I recently had my fistula in ano heal about 15 days ago, but now there's a lump or bump inside my anus that hurts when I press hard. An ayurvedic doctor mentioned it might be from a fissure in ano surgery I had 5 years ago. Could this lump be related to that old surgery? What could be causing this pain now?

Question

I've had an anal fistula for 13 years and tried both allopathy and homeopathy treatments. It gets better sometimes but keeps coming back. Should I consider surgery or is there any other medicine that might work better for this?
