I've been dealing with an anal fistula for around 4 years and have only tried homeopathic treatment so far but it hasn't worked. Is homeopathy still an option for me or should I consider surgery at this point?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Given that your anal fistula has persisted for 4 years without improvement, it’s unlikely to heal with homeopathy alone. Chronic fistulas typically require surgical intervention for definitive treatment. I recommend consulting a colorectal surgeon to discuss your options.

A pharmacist recommended I take a Widemox 500 mg antibiotic. Should I be concerned about this bump? Do you think the antibiotic will help, or is there something else I should be doing? What's going on here?

Every winter I get piles with no bleeding but a lot of burning and they keep coming out often. Should I consider surgery or will medicines work for this?
For recurrent prolapsed hemorrhoids with burning, even without bleeding, you should consult a doctor to determine the best course of action. Surgery is not always necessary, but it might be considered if conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications don't provide relief or if you experience significant complications.

I was diagnosed with fistula in ano back in 2015 and had open surgery for it in June that year, but I'm still dealing with issues like itching, bleeding, and irritation around my anus. I also struggle with constant constipation. What could be causing these problems to persist even after surgery, and what can I do to finally get relief?
follow-up with the surgeon is advised to the patient.
