I've been having sharp pain in my anus and it's gotten so bad I can't even sit properly. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about it. On top of that, I've been dealing with constipation and it's messing up my sleep. Is surgery the only option or are there other things I can try first?

I've been dealing with anal fissures and allopathic doctors keep recommending surgery. Is there a permanent solution in homeopathy that doesn't involve going under the knife? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible

I've had an anal fissure at the 6 o'clock position for the last two months and been using laxatives and ointments. There's also some external bulging at 11 o'clock, but my doctor said it's normal due to the fissure and constipation. Will this heal with just medicine or will I eventually need surgery? I'm currently doing ayurvedic treatment too.

please approach a surgeon in apollo hospital

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.
