Hello,
Treatment of fistula consists of surgery.
Some advice that I can give to you is:
-Using over-the-counter stool softeners.
-Drinking more fluids.
-Taking fiber supplements and eating more fibrous foods, such as raw fruits and vegetables.
-Taking warm baths called sitz baths to relax the anal muscles, relieve irritation, and increase blood flow to the anorectal area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
