Asymptomatic gallstones don't need surgery; regular monitoring and dietary adjustments may be sufficient.

I've been dealing with a fissure for over a year now and it keeps coming back every few weeks no matter what I try. I've cut out outside food completely and seen both allopathic and ayurvedic doctors but nothing gives me a permanent solution. Is surgery really my only option at this point or are there other ways to fully heal this

if conservative therapy fails ,fistulectomy is advised.
