I've been dealing with a fistula for years now and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any permanent cure without going under the knife? The pain is constant, there's pus discharge, and the itching in that area is really bothering me. What can I do to treat this naturally?

Chronic fistula with pus and itching usually requires surgery for permanent cure.Natural or non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief but often fail to close the tract completely.

I'm having some pain when I poop, and I've noticed there's a mole or something that has popped up near my butt hole. It's not bleeding, but I'm worried. What could it be? Is this something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like you may have developed a hemorrhoid or a skin tag near the anal area. While it's not uncommon, I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss potential treatment options, especially if the pain persists.

I'm dealing with an anal fistula and undergoing kshar sutra treatmentthis is my fifth session now. My doctor keeps threading the fistula, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects. Every time the fistula is opened, a little pus comes out before they thread it again. Could you explain why this happens and if there's something I should be concerned about?
