I've been diagnosed with a fistula and I'm really confused about the best way to treat it should I consider surgery or try Ayurvedic treatments first? I'm worried about the recovery process and which option would be more effective long-term. What would you recommend based on the severity and type of fistula?

View allHad fissure surgery 5 days ago and noticing yellow discharge on the gauze pad is mucous discharge normal after this type of procedure? Just a bit worried since it's my first time dealing with this
A small amount of mucous or serous discharge (yellowish, watery fluid) on the gauze pad after anal fissure surgery is generally normal as part of the healing process. This type of drainage is often present for a few days to a week as the wound heals. However, it's important to monitor for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus. If you are concerned about the discharge or have any other concerns, it's best to contact your doctor or surgeon for advice

my friend has an anal fistula and is really worried about treatment options is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other medical treatments that could help first
Anal fistulas usually need surgical correction like fistulotomy, though some early-stage cases may respond to fibrin glue or laser ablation.
