What's the better option for treating anal fistula surgery or Kshar Sutra? How do the costs compare and which one has a lower chance of the problem coming back?

Anal fistula surgery offers quicker healing;Kshar Sutra is less invasive and better suited for low fistulae but may require longer treatment time and expertise.

I've been suffering from a fistula for the past two years and tried homeopathy but it hasn't helped. There's still bleeding and white discharge - should I consider surgery or stick with homeopathy? I'm really worried about this ongoing issue.

Persistent fistula with discharge after homeopathy suggests surgery is needed‚Äîoptions like VAAFT or laser are less invasive and have better cure rates.
