What's the best treatment for fistula and can it be treated without surgery I'm really worried and looking for the most effective options
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The most effective treatment for a fistula is often surgical, but non-surgical options are sometimes available, especially for certain types of fistulas. For anal fistulas, surgical options like fistulotomy, LIFT (Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract), and flap procedures are common, while non-surgical options include fibrin glue injection, seton placement, and fistula plugs

my wound from fistula surgery hasn't healed even after 60 days and there's still a bit of pus coming out my doctor says it's normal and will take time but I'm worried should I be on antibiotics to stop the pus
While your doctor's statement about delayed healing and pus discharge after fistula surgery being normal may be true in some cases, it's important to address your concerns. Pus drainage can be a sign of infection, and a delayed healing time could also indicate an underlying issue. It's recommended to discuss your concerns and the possibility of antibiotics with your doctor. They can assess the situation, determine if antibiotics are necessary, and guide you on the best course of action for your specific case
