I've had a fistula for 8 years and my MRI shows it's 7mm long. Doctors recommended surgery but I switched to Ayurveda after hearing about recurring fistula cases. The Ayurvedic doctor says it's healing on its own and gave me oral meds and an oil to apply. The pus discharge has reduced but hasn't stopped completely. Will this actually heal fully without surgery or am I just delaying the inevitable?

I've been dealing with anal fissure pain on and off since late 2019 and have been using Anovate cream with laxatives, plus increasing fiber and fluids. It's really disruptive and painful I want to get rid of it for good. Does surgery work better than these treatments? For now, I'm trying sitz baths and fiber supplements but would like to know if there are better options
While your current approach with Anovate, laxatives, increased fiber and fluids, sitz baths, and fiber supplements is a good starting point, it's understandable that you're seeking more definitive relief after experiencing anal fissures for several years. Surgery, specifically a lateral internal sphincterotomy, is often a highly effective option for chronic or refractory anal fissures, but it's also associated with a small risk of incontinence. If medical treatments haven't been successful, discussing surgical options with your doctor is a valid next step
