Can Pus Discharge and Swelling from Fistula Be Treated Without Surgery, or Do I Need Laser Treatment?

2 weeks ago

I am experiencing pain, swelling, and pus discharge from a side where a fistula is present. I haven’t consulted a doctor yet, nor have I tried any treatment. I want to know if medicines alone can help or if I need to go for advanced laser treatment. I am also curious about the overall cost of treatment, including surgery and related expenses.

Fistula with pus discharge, pain, and swelling usually cannot be completely treated with medicines alone. While medications may temporarily reduce infection, pain, or inflammation, they do not address the root cause of the problem, which is the fistula tract itself. If the tract is not properly treated, the condition often recurs and can gradually worsen over time.

Advanced laser treatment is an effective option for treating fistula and is minimally invasive in nature. The procedure involves no cutting, causes minimal pain, and allows faster recovery with a high success rate and a lower risk of recurrence compared to traditional surgery.

In most cases, only one day of hospitalization is required, and all surgery-day expenses are included. It is important to consult a specialist doctor to evaluate the condition, confirm the diagnosis, and plan the appropriate treatment along with a clear cost estimate. Early consultation helps achieve better outcomes and prevents complications.
