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.

I've been having severe pain in my anus and was told it's a fistula and fissure. The pain was so bad that there was blood with my stool for four days, but after some treatment, the pain eased up. Now I'm noticing pus keeps coming out regularly. I'm really confused about whether this can heal with medicine or if surgery is the only option. What would be the best treatment for this?
