I've heard fistulas can be treated without surgery what exactly does that involve? Is it something I can do from the UK, or would I need to travel? Also, does the treatment work the same for every type of fistula or does it depend on the case?

Treatment with fibrin glue is currently the only non-surgical option for anal fistulas. It involves the surgeon injecting glue into the fistula while you're under a general anaesthetic. The glue helps seal the fistula and encourages it to heal.

View allI've had an anal fissure at the 6 o'clock position for the last two months and been using laxatives and ointments. There's also some external bulging at 11 o'clock, but my doctor said it's normal due to the fissure and constipation. Will this heal with just medicine or will I eventually need surgery? I'm currently doing ayurvedic treatment too.

I'm feeling some irritation around my anus and it's been going on for the last three days. Could you suggest any medicine or cream for this? I'm wondering, could this be piles?

I went to see a doctor who said I have external piles but I haven't had any bleeding or pain for the past year. Before that, there was occasional bleeding but it stopped. If there's no discomfort now, how can I still have piles? The doctor used an instrument to check and confirmed it. What's the best way to handle this can it resolve on its own or do I need surgery? I've attached the prescription for reference. What do you suggest?
It's understandable to be concerned about having piles that don't cause pain or bleeding, but the doctor's diagnosis using an instrument means they are likely present. External hemorrhoids can resolve on their own, and many cases don't require surgery. However, it's important to follow the doctor's advice and address any underlying issues that may be causing them
