I've been having severe pain in my anus and was told it's a fistula and fissure. The pain was so bad that there was blood with my stool for four days, but after some treatment, the pain eased up. Now I'm noticing pus keeps coming out regularly. I'm really confused about whether this can heal with medicine or if surgery is the only option. What would be the best treatment for this?
