Can homeopathy treat anal fistula or are there any non-surgical options to manage it? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View all9 months ago I had surgery to remove hemorrhoids but now I'm noticing an external hemorrhoid growing again It doesn't hurt but the size keeps increasing My doctor prescribed Smuth cream but it's not helping Is there any way to shrink or get rid of hemorrhoids without another surgery
It's understandable that you're looking for options to manage recurring hemorrhoids after surgery, especially since your current treatment isn't working. While the Smuth cream might offer temporary relief, it's unlikely to shrink the hemorrhoid. Some options to consider without surgery include lifestyle changes, over-the-counter remedies, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. It's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.

I'm dealing with an anal fistula and undergoing kshar sutra treatmentthis is my fifth session now. My doctor keeps threading the fistula, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects. Every time the fistula is opened, a little pus comes out before they thread it again. Could you explain why this happens and if there's something I should be concerned about?
