I've been dealing with an anal fistula for a while now, and it's just incredibly painful. There's this constant pus coming out, which is really concerning. Can you suggest any treatment options that might help with this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

Is laser surgery for piles a permanent fix or will the problem come back later I've heard mixed things and want to understand if it's worth going through the procedure
Laser surgery for piles is generally considered effective and can provide long-term relief, but it's not a guaranteed permanent fix. While recurrence rates are lower with laser surgery compared to traditional approaches, hemorrhoids can still return, especially if underlying causes aren't addressed and healthy habits aren't maintained
