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.

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.
