I've been using homeopathy for my fistula for 7 months but haven't seen any improvement. Should I consider surgery now or does homeopathy actually work for this? Has anyone been successfully treated for fistula with homeopathy by their doctor?

A fistula that isn't healing can be due to several factors, including persistent infection, incomplete drainage of abscesses, underlying medical conditions, or complications of surgery. In some cases, the fistula may be complex and require advanced treatment like setons to help drain the area and promote healing

Is gallbladder surgery my best option at this point?
