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‚Äîbut surgery is usually curative and best long-term.
