my friend has an anal fistula and is really worried about treatment options is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other medical treatments that could help first

Anal fistulas usually need surgical correction like fistulotomy, though some early-stage cases may respond to fibrin glue or laser ablation.

I've been dealing with piles and fissures for about a year now and medicines haven't helped much. I'm 25 and really worried should I consider surgery at this point? What would you recommend for my situation?

I can understand your concern. Surgery is the better option.,it won't shrink on its own. You can use pilex ointment for local application.

I've been dealing with really bad bleeding from piles since giving birth, and I'm currently breastfeeding my 3-month-old. Can I safely use factu ointment, along with magnesium sulphate powder and glycerin? What else can I do to stop the bleeding?
