I've been dealing with thrombosed external hemorrhoids and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there effective home remedies to treat them when they're still at a normal stage? What can I do at home to help them heal faster?

To manage thrombosed external hemorrhoids without resorting to surgery, focus on pain relief and inflammation reduction through home remedies. These include applying ice packs, using topical creams or ointments, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Also, try gentle sitz baths and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and staying hydrated

Question

My husband has been dealing with a high anal fistula for two years and we just got an MRI fistulogram done. The report suggests seton treatment but I've heard it can take around 8 months and might be painful. Another doctor mentioned surgery could lead to motion incontinence. Is seton the only option or are there other treatments we can explore for his condition? I'm really worried about the long recovery time.
