I 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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View all9 months ago I had surgery to remove hemorrhoids but now I'm noticing an external hemorrhoid growing again It doesn't hurt but the size keeps increasing My doctor prescribed Smuth cream but it's not helping Is there any way to shrink or get rid of hemorrhoids without another surgery
It's understandable that you're looking for options to manage recurring hemorrhoids after surgery, especially since your current treatment isn't working. While the Smuth cream might offer temporary relief, it's unlikely to shrink the hemorrhoid. Some options to consider without surgery include lifestyle changes, over-the-counter remedies, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. It's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific case.

I've been dealing with external and internal hemorrhoids for a year now, and despite being on medication, they're not getting better in fact, they seem to be getting bigger. I'm really nervous about surgery but heard about rubber band ligation. Is this treatment available in Hyderabad, and could it be an option for me?
If your hemorrhoids persist or worsen despite treatment, it's crucial to seek medical attention from a doctor, gastroenterologist, or colorectal surgeon. They can determine the severity, confirm the diagnosis, rule out other potential issues, and offer more effective treatment options, which may include office procedures or surgery
