my doctor said i need surgery for an anal fistula but i was wondering if homeopathy can help heal it without surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Small fistulas without an infection will often close on their own and may take 30–50 days. However, more severe fistulas that drain may cause infection in the surrounding skin and organs. If the drainage leads to sepsis, a doctor will usually recommend surgery to repair the areas of drainage.

While surgery is often the most effective treatment for rectal prolapse, there are alternative therapies, including lifestyle changes, biofeedback, and potentially some Ayurvedic approaches, that may help alleviate symptoms or even avoid surgery in certain cases. It's important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the most appropriate course of action for your specific situation.

Anal fistulas usually need surgical correction like fistulotomy, though some early-stage cases may respond to fibrin glue or laser ablation.
