I'm 27 and have been having stomach pain lately, got diagnosed with gallbladder stones where one is 12mm. The doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery but didn't prescribe any meds. Is surgery the only way or can this be treated with medicines instead?

View allMy husband's sonogram shows an anterior low anal intersphincteric fistula at the 12 o'clock position with an internal opening at the low anal level. The report says both internal and external sphincters are normal. He had a pus-filled abscess that burst on its own and keeps coming back, but no other symptoms like constipation, pain during bowel movements, or blood in stool. The doctor recommended surgery but didn't prescribe any meds. Since he's otherwise healthy, is surgery really necessary?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

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 have an anal abscess and I'm wondering if surgery is the only way to treat it. How much would the surgery cost, how painful is the procedure, and how long does recovery usually take?
Anal abscess often requires drainage surgery; it’s typically done under local anesthesia and recovery may take 1–2 weeks with pain control.
