  • If the treatment is not done, the pus inside the fistula can spread further leading to formation of multiple tracts and several opening in the skin around the anus. This makes the fistula more complex and further difficult to treat.
  • Anal Fistula treatment is associated with high recurrence rate. Anal fistula treatment requires a lot of planning and each patient require expert handling. Therefore, Anal Fistula should always be treated by an expert Colo-Rectal Surgeon who has special interest in dealing with Anal Fistulas.
  • Another important issue is that each and every fistula is different one cured with one modality may not be useful for other. It has to be understood by patient and surgeon that each patient will require a customised treatment as per status of his disease. There are different procedures to treat Anal Fistulas and none of these procedures is perfect. Therefore, different procedure should be done in different patients, depending upon the type and complexity of that patient’s fistula.
  • There is a risk, though low, of cancer formation in the long standing Anal Fistulas. Therefore, Fistulas should always be treated at the earliest.

    Been living with fistula for 5 yrs, after perianal abscess that went into sepsis. It kept me hospitalized for 6 days, lucky I survived it. Fistula bleeds on and off. It will be good for a long time then swell, and then drain. It doesn’t bother me, as its more of an in inconvenience than anything. Just wanting to know if it can turn into anything serious i.e. cancer etc.

    1. A disease should not be left unattended in any way. It is quite rare that an untreated fistula turning into cancer. But I advise you not to leave it untreated.

      1. I got a fistula that drains what’s the best treatment I am trying to avoid surgery

        1. Kindly contact us at 7861888100 for more details.

    1. Anal itching doesn’t require operation or surgery. Real cause has to be find out and treatment is possible by Ayurveda medicines. You apply mustard oil daily after having bath.

    Sir I have two fistula from six years…But I don’t have any pain or pus.. I don’t want surgery ..Can it be healed without surgery ……Please Reply sir….Im so nervous

    1. If there is no symptom, there may not be required any treatment but it doesn’t mean that the disease has gone. It may appear anytime. As far as treatment is concerned if Fistula is confirmed it is almost impossible to cure it by medicines alone. Kshar sutra or surgical intervention is required for complete cure.
