I've been dealing with piles for about 4 years now most days it's manageable but sometimes the pain gets really bad. Are there any non-surgical treatments or lifestyle changes that could help reduce the flare-ups?

High-fiber diet, hydration, and Sitz baths may reduce pile symptoms—surgery is only needed if conservative methods fail.

I'm a 32-year-old guy dealing with an anal fistula and the pain is really bad plus there's constant pus discharge. Doctors say it's a 3.9 cm intersphincteric fistula and surgery is my only option. I'm worried about going under the knife are there any non-invasive treatments in Siddha or Ayurveda that could actually heal this for good?

Anal fistulas can be quite painful and uncomfortable. One common treatment option is to use antibiotics to help control the infection and reduce the pus formation. You can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Metronidazole. Additionally, you may benefit from a topical ointment like Nitrogesic ointment to help with pain relief and healing. It's important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
