I recently had fistula surgery and was wondering if homeopathy can help prevent it from coming back is that a good idea or should I stick to conventional treatments?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To avoid fistula recurrence, focus on promoting healing, managing bowel movements, and maintaining good hygiene. A fiber-rich diet, plenty of fluids, and gentle exercise can help prevent constipation and straining, which can increase the risk of recurrence. Additionally, good hygiene practices, including cleaning the area after bowel movements, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can aid in wound healing and prevent infection

View allCan you tell me if there are non-surgical treatments for hernia and how serious it is I'm really worried and need more details as soon as possible
The hernia can only be treated with surgery, really. It can be managed with the hernia belt until you're waiting for surgery, but the only real treatment for a hernia is with surgery.

It's been 3 months since my fistula surgery but the wound still hasn't healed completely - is this normal or could there be an underlying issue causing the delay in healing?
It's not uncommon for fistula wounds to take a few months to heal completely, and a delay in healing can be due to various factors. While a 3-month healing period isn't inherently abnormal, it's important to address any concerns you have with your healthcare provider. They can assess the wound, identify potential underlying issues, and recommend appropriate management.

I was recently diagnosed with an intersphincteric fistula tract and have surgery scheduled for next Friday. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what type of anesthesia is usually given during a fistulectomy procedure
Spinal anaesthesia will be given during surgery. You will feel a small pin-prick in your back. The surgery will take 20-30 minutes only. Don't worry!
