Question

I noticed a fistula last year but couldn't get surgery because of the pandemic. It's really bothering me now - is there any medicine that could help manage it until things settle down and I can get proper treatment? The discomfort is getting hard to deal with

Temporary medicines (e.g., sitz baths,sitz analgesics) can ease fistula discomfort until surgery is possible,but do not offer a cure.
