My nephew has a urinary bump below his private area and some doctors said it might be a fistula needing open surgery. Is there any chance it can heal with medicines or other treatments instead of surgery? Really worried and looking for advice.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
