I've been dealing with a fistula for the past 2 years and already had surgery, but it keeps coming back. What medications can help prevent it from recurring so often?

Post-surgical recurrent fistula needs imaging like MRI pelvis to check tract; antibiotics and sitz baths help but surgery like LIFT or laser is more curative.

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
