I've had a fistula for the past six months is there any way to treat it without surgery? Really hoping to avoid an operation if possible
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Six months of fistula symptoms suggest chronicity.Non-surgical options like Kshar Sutra may help but traditional surgery remains the most reliable solution for lasting relief.

View allHey, I've been dealing with a painful lump right on the outside of my anus for three days now. It's super sore when I touch it, but oddly enough, I don't really notice it when I go to the bathroom or throughout the day. I've been using Proctosedyl Cream, but it hasn't helped so far. Any idea what could be going on or what I should try next?
You should consult a doctor, a general surgeon, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as the painful lump could be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, an anal abscess, or another condition requiring medical attention, and they may prescribe a different treatment or perform a minor procedure to relieve your symptoms.

I've been dealing with an anal fistula for a while now, and it's just incredibly painful. There's this constant pus coming out, which is really concerning. Can you suggest any treatment options that might help with this?
Anal fistulas can be quite painful and uncomfortable. One common treatment option is to use antibiotics to help control the infection and reduce the pus formation. You can try taking a course of antibiotics such as Metronidazole. Additionally, you may benefit from a topical ointment like Nitrogesic ointment to help with pain relief and healing. It's important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for the past 4 months and the pain is really bad though there's no bleeding during stools My doctor suggested laser surgery but I'm wondering if it can heal without surgery What are my options
Yes, anal fissures can often heal without surgery, even if they've been present for several months. Your doctor's suggestion of laser surgery is a valid option, but there are several non-surgical treatments that should be tried first, especially since your fissure has been ongoing for 4 months
