I'm dealing with an anal fistula and undergoing kshar sutra treatmentthis is my fifth session now. My doctor keeps threading the fistula, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects. Every time the fistula is opened, a little pus comes out before they thread it again. Could you explain why this happens and if there's something I should be concerned about?

I'm 21 and dealing with external piles. I haven't been able to talk to my family about it because it's embarrassing, and now they're interfering with getting a government job. It's been about 6 months since I've had any symptoms like bleeding, pain, or itching, but the lump around my anal area still isn't going away. I do get constipated now and then. What should I do about this, and how can I get rid of the lumps?

I have an infected fistula near my butt and my allopathic doctor recommended surgery right away. Is there any way to treat this without surgery using homeopathy? There's no bleeding, just some pain in that area now and then. What would you suggest?

An infected anal fistula usually requires surgery for proper treatment. While your doctor has recommended immediate surgery, it's important to understand the different surgical options and what to expect.
