Question

My husband's sonogram shows an anterior low anal intersphincteric fistula at the 12 o'clock position with an internal opening at the low anal level. The report says both internal and external sphincters are normal. He had a pus-filled abscess that burst on its own and keeps coming back, but no other symptoms like constipation, pain during bowel movements, or blood in stool. The doctor recommended surgery but didn't prescribe any meds. Since he's otherwise healthy, is surgery really necessary?
