I'm dealing with rectal prolapse and my doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are other treatment options like ayurvedic or alternative therapies that could help me avoid surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While surgery is often the most effective treatment for rectal prolapse, there are alternative therapies, including lifestyle changes, biofeedback, and potentially some Ayurvedic approaches, that may help alleviate symptoms or even avoid surgery in certain cases. It's important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the most appropriate course of action for your specific situation.

I'm a 32-year-old guy dealing with an anal fistula and the pain is really bad plus there's constant pus discharge. Doctors say it's a 3.9 cm intersphincteric fistula and surgery is my only option. I'm worried about going under the knife are there any non-invasive treatments in Siddha or Ayurveda that could actually heal this for good?
Anal fistulas can be quite painful and uncomfortable. One common treatment option is to use antibiotics to help control the infection and reduce the pus formation. You can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Metronidazole. Additionally, you may benefit from a topical ointment like Nitrogesic ointment to help with pain relief and healing. It's important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
