I'm dealing with a fistula issue that's been bothering me for the past year, and it's been draining pus continuously. I really need to find a good doctor who specializes in fistulas. Can you help me figure out what kind of treatment options might be available or suggest any tips for finding the right specialist? I'm pretty worried about this situation and would appreciate any advice you have.

View allMy mom has grade 4 piles with both internal and external hemorrhoids that stay outside all the time. She bleeds a lot and has severe pain during bowel movements. The doctor recommended laser surgery in 3 sessions can this be treated with meds instead or is surgery the only option? Also, is it possible to do it in just one session?

I had a fistula surgery 8 months ago which went well but now I have a small fissure again. My surgeon checked with a finger test and just advised me to eat a balanced diet and keep my stool soft. My question is - is it okay if I only clean the outside after passing stool and not put my finger inside to clean like doctors do during the anal exam? I'm worried that inserting a finger might cause infection in the fissure and lead to another fistula
Post-fistula surgery fissure cleaning externally is sufficient.Resisting internal cleaning is okay;if symptoms worsen,consult your surgeon.
