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.

Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

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
