Does fistula treatment hurt? How long does fistula treatment generally take?

An anal fistula is an abnormal connection between the lining on the inside of your anal canal (back passage) and the skin near your anus. Most anal fistulas are caused by an abscess (a collection of pus) which has developed in your anal canal.The pus can drain away onto the skin on its own or by an operation. A fistula happens when the track, made by the pus on the way to the surface of the skin, stays open. Surgery is usually necessary to treat an anal fistula as they do not heal by themselves. Surgery for an anal fistula is carried out under general anaesthetic, which means the patient does not feel any pain during the surgery. The surgery too can be completed in an hour, depending on the specialist who is operating on the patient. In many cases, it's not necessary to stay in hospital overnight afterwards. The most common type of surgery for anal fistulas is a fistulotomy. This involves cutting along the whole length of the fistula to open it up so it heals as a flat scar. A fistulotomy is the most effective treatment for many anal fistulas, although it's usually only suitable for fistulas that do not pass through much of the sphincter muscles, as the risk of incontinence is lowest in these cases. Patients can commence diet within 4 hours after surgery. Resumption of work can occur, typically in 2 -3 days after surgery. Consult professionals such as Dr. Mehli Nazir for a complete understanding of the fistula treatment procedure.

How successful is haemorrhoid surgery?

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anal canal. The treatment depends on the stage in which the disease is. If it is still in its early stages you can simply treat it with a high fibre diet and plenty of oral fluids. If it moves into later stages, surgery can be made via laser procedures, open surgery or even a stapler procedure. These surgeries, in general, are very successful. However, haemorrhoids have a tendency of reappearing. It is much better to focus on fixing haemorrhoids through natural methods. If you still wish to go for surgery then you should consult with specialists such as Dr Mehli Nazir to give yourself the best   haemorrhoids treatment   possible. DR.

What is Anal Fistula? It’s Treatment & Recovery from Surgery

  What Is An Anal Fistula? This a channel extending from the anal canal (usually) to the skin in the area surrounding the anal verge.  It is frequently a result of the formation of an anal gland infection which may manifest as an abscess. What Is The  Treatment For Anal Fistula ? Surgery is almost always needed as only very few fistulas heal by themselves.  The procedure of choice depends on: Type of Fistula Presence/ absence of infection/large abscess. In majority of cases a fistulotomy procedure alone suffice.  In this the tract is layed open along its entire length, and the wound so created is allowed to heal by scar tissue formation.  Occasionally in the case of a complex fistula a two stage procedure is warranted to achieve full healing without complications. Recovery From Surgery Can be done as a day procedure operation. Occasionally depending on the type of fistula and therefore selection of surgery, a few days...
