I've been dealing with a fistula for several years now and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any effective non-surgical treatments or medications that can help heal it completely? I'm worried about the condition getting worse and would love to know my options.

While non-surgical treatments can offer relief and sometimes lead to healing, it's crucial to understand that fistula healing is often a challenging process, and surgery may still be the most effective option. Non-surgical options like antibiotics for infections, fibrin glue for sealing the tract, and wound care can be helpful, but they may not always lead to a complete cure

View allI'm scheduled for surgery next week for 4th-grade piles, and I'm a bit nervous. My main concern is post-surgerywill I be able to sit comfortably during the five-hour drive home from the hospital?
After piles surgery, it's generally recommended to avoid prolonged sitting (more than 30-45 minutes) for 2-3 weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing; since you have a 5-hour journey home, consider the following: break the journey into smaller segments with regular breaks (every 1-2 hours) to stretch, walk, and rest; use a doughnut-shaped cushion or a pillow to reduce pressure on the surgical site; and follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions regarding travel and activity.

I have a small sentinel pile and my doctor prescribed antibiotics, Anovate, and sitz baths. Will this treatment be enough to get rid of it or is surgery absolutely necessary? I'm worried about whether it'll fully heal without an operation.
Sentinel Piles can be conveniently removed without surgery by Graded Ksharsutra Treatment. No hospitalization or bed rest is required in this treatment. You can continue your normal routine activities as usual during treatment

I'm experiencing this strange pain in my bottom when I sit for a long time. It really burns, but interestingly, when I stand, run, or sleep, the pain goes away. I don't feel any pain or see blood when I go to the toilet, although I am dealing with a little constipation. There's no blood or pus in my stool either. Some people are telling me it might be piles, others say it could be fissures or maybe even a fistula. I'm really confused and would appreciate some guidance on what this might be.
