Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

I had fissure surgery last month but now I'm dealing with anal fistula pus discharge and an abscess. It's been going on for almost 9 months. Is there any homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine that can fully treat this? I'm based in Mumbai and looking for options.

Accepted Answer

consult general surgeon in person

Question 3

I have grade 1 hemorrhoids and I'm trying to decide between laser and stapler surgery. What are the pros and cons of each option? I'm a bit worried about recovery time and which one might be less painful

Accepted Answer

For grade 1 hemorrhoids, both laser and stapler surgery are options, but laser surgery is generally favored for its minimally invasive nature, quicker recovery, and potential for less pain. However, staple surgery is often used for grade 4 hemorrhoids. Both options have potential risks, including pain, bleeding, and recurrence
