Small fistulas without an infection will often close on their own and may take 30‚Äì50 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.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for about a week now and I'm using Soframycin, but it hasn't really helped. I noticed some bleeding at first, but that's stopped, although it's still tough to sit down comfortably. Could you suggest any medicine that might help speed up the recovery?
