View allMy MRI report shows a perianal fistula with an external opening in the left paramedian gluteal cleft. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?
In most cases, a perianal fistula with an external opening in the left paramedian gluteal cleft requires surgical intervention to resolve. While medication, like antibiotics, might be used to manage associated infections, they won't cure the fistula itself. Surgery, often a fistulotomy, is needed to open and drain the fistula tract, allowing healing from the bottom up.

Can you help me get a medical certificate stating I can't travel because of health issues or surgery I lost a lot of money on my flight tickets and need this to claim a refund
If you have valid reason then you will definitely receive a certificate. Visit a nearby physician and get your self examined.

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
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.
