I've been dealing with a fistula for years now and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any permanent cure without going under the knife? The pain is constant, there's pus discharge, and the itching in that area is really bothering me. What can I do to treat this naturally?

Chronic fistula with pus and itching usually requires surgery for permanent cure.Natural or non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief but often fail to close the tract completely.
