I just got a sonogram report showing two tracks in my anal fistula and I'm considering laser surgery how effective is this treatment and what should I expect during recovery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Laser surgery, specifically FiLAC (Fistula-Tract Laser Closure), offers a minimally invasive approach to treating anal fistulas and is generally considered effective, particularly for certain types of fistulas. Success rates vary, but generally range from 60% to 85%, depending on factors like fistula complexity and patient health. Recovery is typically quicker than with traditional surgery, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few weeks.

I'm a bit worried because I've got this painful lump on the left side of my anus. There's no redness or anything visible on the skin, but it's definitely there and it's been about a week now. It hurts when I sit, walk, or touch it. I'm not sure who to see about thisshould I consult a gynecologist, a physician, or maybe a gastric specialist? What do you think?
You may be experiencing a perianal abscess. I recommend you to see a physician for further evaluation and treatment. You may be prescribed antibiotics such as Augmentin 625mg to help with the infection. In some cases, surgical drainage may be necessary to treat the abscess effectively. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent any complications.
