Anal Fistula Treatment in Pune

Symptoms

Recurring discharge or swelling near the anus. Pain, irritation or repeated abscesses.

When to see a doctor

An abscess with fever or severe pain needs prompt medical attention. Recurrent discharge should also be assessed.

Diagnosis

Examination is important; MRI or other imaging may help map complex fistula tracks before treatment.

Treatment options

Treatment choices depend on the fistula’s path and relationship to the sphincter muscles.

When surgery may be considered

A procedure is commonly needed to treat a persistent fistula, with a plan that aims to protect continence.

Laparoscopic and robotic options

Fistulotomy, seton placement and sphincter-sparing approaches, including selected laser techniques, may be discussed.

Recovery and follow-up

Healing may take time and follow-up is important. Recurrence and continence risks vary by anatomy and treatment.

Common questions

Will antibiotics cure a fistula?

Antibiotics alone usually do not close a persistent fistula.

Is laser always suitable?

No. The anatomy and continence risk determine whether it is appropriate.
