I've been dealing with piles and a fistula for a few days now and it's really painful. There's trouble passing stool and sometimes blood comes out too. I'm not sure what to do is there any way to treat this permanently without surgery? The pain is getting hard to handle.

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.

I've heard fistulas can be treated without surgery what exactly does that involve? Is it something I can do from the UK, or would I need to travel? Also, does the treatment work the same for every type of fistula or does it depend on the case?

Treatment with fibrin glue is currently the only non-surgical option for anal fistulas. It involves the surgeon injecting glue into the fistula while you're under a general anaesthetic. The glue helps seal the fistula and encourages it to heal.
