I've had piles without bleeding for 5 years but developed a fistula problem in the last three months. There's also a lump formed with my piles now. The fistula keeps leaking pus - can this heal without surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Anal fistulas, once they develop, generally require surgical intervention for a definitive cure, according to the NHS. While in rare cases, fistulas might close up on their own, they often recur if left untreated, leading to infections and abscesses. Your situation, with a newly developed fistula and pus discharge, strongly suggests a need for surgical treatment, as fistulas rarely heal spontaneously

I'm dealing with these recurring anal fissures, and it's really uncomfortable. Right now, they're not active, but I'm worried about them coming back again in the future. I've heard Ayurveda can help, and I'm interested in treatments that might stop this from happening. Any advice on what to try?
