I've been dealing with a fistula in ano for the last four months and my doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat this without going under the knife? I'm 30 and really worried about the procedure are there other options that could work for me?

Some low-grade fistulas heal with Ksharasutra (Ayurvedic) or antibiotics—but surgery is usually curative and best long-term.

View allWill delaying my fistula surgery by 10 days make it worse if it's currently 2.54 cm from the opening
Delaying fistula surgery by 10 days when the fistula is currently 2.54 cm from the opening could potentially lead to complications, including infection, abscess formation, and a more complex fistula tract. While a short delay might not always be a significant issue, it's generally advisable to proceed with surgery as planned unless there are compelling reasons for postponement, according to a medical news article about fistula surgery recovery.

I recently had fistula surgery and was wondering if homeopathy can help prevent it from coming back is that a good idea or should I stick to conventional treatments?
To avoid fistula recurrence, focus on promoting healing, managing bowel movements, and maintaining good hygiene. A fiber-rich diet, plenty of fluids, and gentle exercise can help prevent constipation and straining, which can increase the risk of recurrence. Additionally, good hygiene practices, including cleaning the area after bowel movements, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can aid in wound healing and prevent infection

I'm a 35-year-old male engineer, and I've recently had my gallbladder removed. I'm still on bed rest and trying to figure out how much more time I might need to fully recover. Can you give me an idea of the usual recovery period for this surgery? I'm concerned about how much longer I might need to stay off work.
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
