How To Close A Fistula Hole? - #59961
I am dealing with this really frustrating issue. I found out I have a fistula after experiencing some really weird symptoms like pain and a weird discharge. Like, I thought it was just a minor problem at first, but now I’m concerned. I mean, is fistula a serious problem? My doctor mentioned something about fistula treatment but didn’t really explain if it’s 100% curable or not. And honestly, that makes me nervous. I have heard stories about people who got surgery for their fistula and then it came back, which really freaks me out. Can a fistula come back after surgery? I don’t wanna go through all that only to have it return. Also, how to close a fistula hole? I know there are different treatments, but what is the safest and most effective? I have been reading up on it, but every article seems to say something different. It’s just overwhelming! Any insights on what the best fistula treatment options are, and if there are any risks I should be aware of? Just feeling a bit lost here.
