Question 3

My brother has been dealing with a fistula in ano for two years now and refuses to get surgery because he's scared. There's sticky discharge and sometimes blood from the opening. Could this have turned into something more serious like cancer or a precancerous condition

Accepted Answer

It's understandable that your brother is hesitant about surgery, but it's crucial for him to understand that an anal fistula, which is a tunnel between the anus and the skin around it, rarely heals on its own and can lead to complications if left untreated. The sticky discharge and blood are signs of infection and inflammation, and further complications can include recurrent abscesses, fecal incontinence, and even, in rare cases, cancer.

If you have valid reason then you will definitely receive a certificate. Visit a nearby physician and get your self examined.
