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

After taking a month off to rest, I went back to work in September, but now, a few months later, I'm feeling pain again in the same spot where the mesh was placed. Could it be because of extra work or maybe the cold weather affecting it? What should I do about this?

I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?
Consider consulting a specialist, such as general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventions
