I've been dealing with a fistula since 2013 and already had two surgeries but it's still not fixed Now my doctor is recommending laser surgery since the fistula is connected to my anal canal I'm really confused about whether to go for it or not Does laser surgery work better for this type of fistula and what are the risks compared to regular surgery

Laser fistula surgery is minimally invasive and may reduce recurrence compared to conventional surgery;risks include incontinence if muscle is damaged.

View allI've been dealing with fissures for 5 years and seen multiple doctors who say surgery is only needed if it grows bigger. But the pain and itching are constant and really affecting me. I recently saw an ad for laser treatment for fissures and piles could this be a solution for me? Or should I consider homeopathy or ayurveda instead?
Yes, laser surgery can be a good option for anal fissures, particularly for chronic or stubborn cases that don't respond well to conservative treatments. Laser surgery, specifically lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) with a laser, offers a minimally invasive approach with potential benefits like reduced pain, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional LIS.

I've been having severe pain in my anus and was told it's a fistula and fissure. The pain was so bad that there was blood with my stool for four days, but after some treatment, the pain eased up. Now I'm noticing pus keeps coming out regularly. I'm really confused about whether this can heal with medicine or if surgery is the only option. What would be the best treatment for this?
Fat reduction surgeries like liposuction carry risks like contour irregularities and anesthesia complications; cost varies but non-surgical options like cryolipolysis exist.
