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

“You have already managed things well with sitz baths and medicines. But since there’s no major improvement in 2 months, we need to review the case carefully.
Anal fistula is a condition where an internal tract forms between the anal canal and the skin — and in many cases, it requires surgical or minimally invasive treatment for complete cure.
However, with proper homeopathic treatment and hygienic care, we can try to control infection, discharge, and pain — and in some mild or early cases, healing can occur naturally over time.
Homeopathic Management (if continuing non-surgical route):
Silicea 6X – 4 tabs, 3 times daily – promotes expulsion of pus, helps close tracts naturally.
Hepar Sulph 30 or 200 – if pain, tenderness, or pus with offensive smell.
Change medicines only after observing for at least 2–3 weeks; too many changes reduce effect.
If pain or discharge persists even after 3–4 months.
If the fistula is deep or has multiple tracts.
If there is fever, swelling, or recurring abscess.
Then show to a specialist.
Minimally invasive procedures like VAAFT or laser fistulotomy are now available — safer for heart patients (short, less bleeding, under mild anesthesia).
You can continue homeopathic management and conservative care for another month, but simultaneously take a proctologist’s opinion to assess tract depth.
If it’s a low, single tract fistula, chances of healing with homeopathy exist.
If it’s high or multiple tract, surgery may ultimately be needed — but it can be done safely even in heart patients under proper precautions.
Health Tips
1. Sitz bath – Continue twice daily with warm water + pinch of salt or Betadine solution (5–10 minutes each time).
2. Diet:
Eat high-fibre foods (fruits, vegetables, oats, flax seeds).
Drink 2.5–3 L of water daily.
Avoid spicy, oily, and constipating foods.
3. Avoid constipation – if stools are hard, drink warm water after 1 hour of meal.
4. Hygiene:
Clean and dry the anal area gently after stool.
Avoid tight clothing.
5. Avoid long sitting hours – Use soft cushions or donut pillows if needed.
6. Manage infection: If there’s discharge, swelling, or pain increase — consult a doctor immediately.

Homeopathy can definitely support natural healing and help control symptoms, but since you haven’t noticed much change in two months, it’s best to get your case reviewed in detail. Sometimes the medicine or potency needs to be reassessed. Continue sitz baths and maintain local hygiene. With proper follow-up and guidance, we can decide the best way forward.

FISTULA is a difficult condition to treat as the location favours constant soil for infection.
The medicine you are taking are named homoeopathy but are not based on homoeopathic principles.
The right medicine if found based on the similarity of the symptoms then there are high chances that it can be cured without any complications and it will surely improve the heart condition also.
I suggest proper consultation with a good doctor of your choice and get proper homoeopathic treatment.

Fistula in ano is caused by:
- Infection of an anal gland leading to an abscess
- Chronic inflammation
- Conditions like Crohn’s disease, tuberculosis, or trauma
It results in an abnormal tract between the anal canal and the skin near the anus.
A homoeopathic treatment will give you best results naturally

It needs to be treated in a holistic approach for complete recovery, otherwise it may get complicated.
Just taking OTC medicines may not be helpful for a long time.
You need an expert Homeopathic physician asap.
