I had fistula surgery 6 years ago but the problem is back again for the past year with pain, swelling, and pus or blood discharge. I'm thinking of getting laser surgery this time to fix it for good can you recommend a good clinic or doctor for this?

It's understandable that you're looking for a reliable solution for your recurring fistula. While laser surgery is a viable option, the best approach for you will depend on the specific nature of your fistula and your individual health history. Consulting with a qualified colorectal surgeon is crucial to determine the most suitable treatment plan

View allI have a fistula in ano and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to avoid going under the knife if possible Are there any non-surgical treatments that could work for this condition
Fistula in ano typically requires surgery for complete cure, as non-surgical treatments have a high risk of recurrence or inadequate healing. In some early or low-risk cases, treatments like antibiotics, sitz baths, or fibrin glue may help temporarily, but they rarely offer a permanent solution. It's best to follow your surgeon's advice for long-term relief.

I've been having a lot of swelling and really bad pain in my perineum and one side of my anus. I can feel this firm lump near the anus opening and the whole perineum area is super swollen and firm too. It's incredibly painful and sometimes I get the chills and a fever from all the pain. I've been taking paracetamol to help a bit, but the pain just keeps coming back when it wears off. It's been like this for three days now, and it's just getting worse. I tried sitting in hot water and it gives some temporary relief, but I'm worried. What could this be and how do I treat it?
Your symptoms, including severe pain, swelling, and a firm lump in the anal region, perineal swelling, chills, fever, and temporary relief with hot sitz baths and paracetamol, suggest a possible perianal abscess or anal fistula consult general surgeon

Is it possible for a fistula to come back just 20 days after surgery? I noticed a small pimple-like bump near the surgical wound and I'm worried it might be recurring
Unfortunately, despite proper treatment and complete healing, an abscess or a fistula can come back. If an abscess comes back, it suggests that perhaps there is a fistula that needs to be treated. If a fistula comes back, additional surgery will likely be required to treat the problem.
