While homeopathic treatment for anal fistulas can offer some symptom relief, it's crucial to understand that anal fistulas typically require surgery to be completely cured. Homeopathy may help manage symptoms like itching, but it won't eliminate the fistula itself. The cost of homeopathy treatment can vary widely depending on the practitioner, the duration of treatment, and the specific remedies used

I've been taking stool softeners for 11 months since delivering my baby last December and now I'm on homeopathic treatment for my fissure - should I stop the softeners? The pain is really bad and I'm wondering if laser surgery would be better since it hurts so much

Go for surgery.

I was recently diagnosed with moderate rectal prolapse after an MR scan, and my doctor said surgery isn't needed right now. What Ayurvedic treatments or medicines could help improve this condition? Are there specific remedies or lifestyle changes that might help manage or reverse it?

I recently had my fistula in ano heal about 15 days ago, but now there's a lump or bump inside my anus that hurts when I press hard. An ayurvedic doctor mentioned it might be from a fissure in ano surgery I had 5 years ago. Could this lump be related to that old surgery? What could be causing this pain now?

fistulotomy is the treatment of choice
