    Treatment

    Diagnosis

    When you consult with Pristyn Care’s fistula doctor in Vizag, he/she will gather information about your medical history first. Then the doctor physically examines the fistula to look for signs like oozing or fluid drainage in the fistula.

    If necessary, the doctor will recommend tests like X-ray or colonoscopy for accurate diagnosis.

    Surgery

    At Pristyn Care, our doctors perform laser fistula in surgery in Vizag to resolve the problem completely. The surgery involves draining and cleaning the fistula tract. After cleaning, the laser probe is inserted into the tract. Then the probe is extracted slowly while it emits energy that ablates the tract. Thus, the fistula tract is closed off permanently. The surgery takes about 30-45 minutes to complete and done on an outpatient basis. The recovery period is also shorter than other conventional surgical procedures used for fistula treatment.

    In Our Doctor's Words

    What-Dr. Sanjeev Gupta-Say-About-Anal Fistula-Treatment

    Dr. Sanjeev Gupta

    MBBS, MS- General Surgeon

    25 Years Experience

    "Fistula, in general is very painful. You suffer a constant pain, irritation and smelly discharge around your anus. With time, not only your bowel movements but simple activities like sitting/ walking becomes difficult too. These days, I see not old but equally many men in middle and younger ages with similar symptoms. This is happening precisely because of today's inactive lifestyle, increasing dependence on junk food, stress and long sitting hours. The trend is dangerous. I highly encourage you have balanced, home cooked meal and walk at least thirty [30] minutes everyday. But, if a fistula has already formed, do not trust just home remedies/ OTC care. Meet a proctologist and seek proper guidance before it turns severe or risks forming infection or other anorectal diseases. Also, remember that while exercise and yoga can help in its prevention in the anorectal diseases, they will not help once the fistula has already formed. In fact, any excess movement/ or exercise during this time can cause friction, rupture, infection and way more pain than bearable. So, in my opinion, seek a proper medical attention at the earliest and let your doctor decide the best course of action."

    Get Treatment for All Types of Anal Fistula

    There are four different types of anal fistula depending on their location. And Pristyn Care provides treatment for all of them.

    • Intersphincteric fistula tract begins between the space of internal and external sphincter muscles and has an external opening very close to the anus.
    • Transsphincteric fistula tract usually starts between the space of internal and external sphincter muscles. It can also originate in the space behind the anus. Then it crosses the external sphincter and opens up near the anal opening making a U-shape.
    • Suprasphincteric fistula tract begins between the internal and external sphincter muscles and takes an upward turn to the puborectal muscle, crossing it directly. Then the tract extends in the downward direction and opens up closer to the anal opening.
    • Extrasphincteric fistula tract starts at the rectum and sigmoid colon and moves downward towards the levator ani muscle and crosses it. The external opening is very close to the anus.

    The treatment of all these types of anal fistula is possible using laser technology in the safest way. You can contact Pristyn Care experts and find out how we treat anal fistula.

    Why should you not leave fistula untreated?

    Leaving anorectal diseases, like anal fistula untreated is never a good idea. Over time, the problem will get worse and you will have to suffer from unbearable pain and discomfort. In some cases, anal fistula can also lead to complications, such as:

    • Infection- Anal fistula tract usually drains consistently and increase the risk of infection spreading to the entire colon or intestines.
    • Sepsis- This complication can arise when the bacterial infection present in the anal fistula is not treated on time. The infection spreads to the gastrointestinal tract and when the body releases chemicals to fight the infection, those chemicals trigger changes in the organ system. Sepsis will cause symptoms like fever, rapid breathing, abnormal heart rate, rashes, etc. and result in organ damage or death.
    • Perforation- Once the anal fistula infection reaches the colon and intestinal wall, it can lead to perforation. The weak part of the colon or intestinal wall will rupture due to the infection and the intestinal fluid and content will start leaking in the abdominal cavity.
    • Peritonitis- It is one of the worse complications of leaving anal fistula untreated. The bacterial infection gives rise to inflammation in the abdominal membrane lining and may lead to shock, organ failure, or death.

    As soon as you notice the symptoms of anal fistula, it is suggested that you contact Pristyn Care and get proper treatment under our care of our specialists in Visakhapatnam.

    Recovery and after care of anal fistula

    In most cases, anal fistula surgical sites heal within 5-6 weeks time. The recovery in case of anal fistula is not very complicated if the person follows the advices and recovery tips shared by the anorectal surgeon. You can follow the self-care tips after anal fistula surgery for a seamless recovery:

    • Keep the surgical wound clean. Wash the area, pat it dry several times a day. Do not let discharge accumulate in the area.
    • If the area pains, consult with a doctor and take medicines. Do not touch the skin. You can also take over-the-counter pills such as painkillers and ibuprofen.
    • Change the dressing of the wound at regular intervals. In case there is pus discharge from the site, be extremely gentle while changing teh dressing.
    • Indulge in light physical activities. Don’t go sedentary. Gentle exercises will help the wound heal faster.
    • Do not indulge in anal sex until the surgical site is completely healed.

    What is the recovery timeline after laser surgery for anal fistula?

    The recovery timeline after anal fistula laser surgery is not the same for every patient. Most patients recover within 2-3 months but the complete recovery may take anywhere between 1 month to 45 days.

    Recovery after 1 month of anal fistula laser surgery

    The patient needs to follow the recovery tips and recommendations by the doctor for at least one month after the laser surgery for anal fistula. It is advisable that the patient refrains from doing anything that puts strain on the surgical site. The patient should not eat anything too oily and spicy and consume only fiber-rich food. Diet is a very significant factor that determines the recovery after surgical treatment. The patient should take sitz baths at least 2-3 times a day to keep the surgical area free of any infection and take regular sitz baths.

    Recovery after 2 months of laser surgery for anal fistula

    After 2 months, the pain from the surgical site will subside. The patient would experience much relief from the pain in and around the wound. But the scars might take some more time to disappear. The patient might get back to normal work life without any major complications and also resume normal dietary habits.

    Recovery after 3 months of surgery for anal fistula

    After 3 months, the patient would be free from all post-surgery discomfort. There would be no scars at the surgical site and the wound would be healed completely too.
