Fistula in ano
About 2 months ago, I had a small boil near the anal area. It drained on its own within 2–3 days, and I started doing sitz baths regularly. After that, I started experiencing slight pain after passing stool every day. I consulted a nearby doctor who did a finger examination and told me that a fistula tract has formed.
I have been continuing daily sitz baths and taking homeopathic medicines like Calcarea Sulph and Fistula BT49, but even after 2 months I haven’t noticed significant improvement. I want to know if there is any real chance of my fistula healing completely with these medicines, or if I should go to a private hospital and consider surgery.
I’m very confused because it’s already been 2 months, and I really want proper guidance. Also, I am a heart patient, so I’ve been trying to avoid surgery if possible.
Please give me some genuine, home-like advice. Your help will mean a lot to me.
Would you like me to make it sound a bit more formal (like for a specialist), or keep this

It seems u had a Perianal abscess previously and it led to formation of fistula . But any drugs u take it only heave a temporary solution . It only controls infection and temporarily closes fistula tract but again it will recur. So consult a surgeon and if possible get an ultrasound or MRI fistulogram done and based on the report plan accordingly .
Next Steps
Consult a surgeon or get an MRI fistulogram

Don't waste your time in taking these homeopathic medicines.
Visit a General surgeon and let him examine to come to a diagnosis.
He can further advise MRI fistulogram for confirming the diagnosis of fistula in ano and also for grading it.
Accordingly the surgery will be planned.
It's very less likely to resolve with any kind of medicine.
Next Steps
Consult a General Surgeon and get an MRI fistulogram done.
