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
