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 allIts been a couple of days since I've noticed something like a pimple near my anus. It really hurts when I sit, and I figured it might be a pimple because theres some swelling. Do you think it could be something else, and what should I do about the pain? Any advice would be really helpful.
U can use Anovate cream, lignocaine jelly for local application for 2 weeks, sitz bath is also advised, if any side -effects dermat opinion is advised

Will fistula surgery affect my sex life in the long run I'm 25 and scheduled for the procedure but worried if things will go back to normal after recovery or if there will be any changes
Fistula surgery typically doesn't affect sexual function. Full recovery may take weeks, but most resume normal life without issues.

I've got this boil near my anus that's causing me a lot of trouble. It really hurts when I start to defecate and then it burns until I'm done. Sitting for long periods is also really uncomfortable. What could this be, and what should I do?
The symptoms you're describing suggest a perianal abscess or boil, which can be painful and uncomfortable; apply warm compresses to the area for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day if the boil persists, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, increased redness, or pus, seek medical attention
