I've been dealing with piles for a while now and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about it - is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I could try first

I've been dealing with an anal fistula for a while now, and it's just incredibly painful. There's this constant pus coming out, which is really concerning. Can you suggest any treatment options that might help with this?
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.
