My husband keeps getting a perianal abscess that drains every few weeks but keeps coming back. He also has a chronic fissure and some doctors think a fistula might have formed. Is surgery the only option for this and is laser treatment a good choice for fixing a fistula?

Laser surgery, specifically FiLAC (Fistula-Tract Laser Closure), offers a minimally invasive approach to treating anal fistulas and is generally considered effective, particularly for certain types of fistulas. Success rates vary, but generally range from 60% to 85%, depending on factors like fistula complexity and patient health.

I've had an external hemorrhoid for about a month now no pain or bleeding, but it's not getting better either. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery. Any advice on how to help it heal naturally?
To naturally manage an external hemorrhoid that isn't causing pain or bleeding, focus on improving bowel habits. Increase fiber intake, stay hydrated, and avoid straining during bowel movements. Topical treatments like over-the-counter creams, ointments, or suppositories can also help relieve discomfort, swelling, and itching. Warm baths or sitz baths can also provide relief.
