The treatment methods for anal fistula mainly involve surgery. Conservative medication for anal fistula does not provide a definitive cure but can alleviate the inflammatory symptoms triggered during acute episodes by using anti-inflammatory symptomatic drugs. The surgical method primarily used for anal fistula is the fistulotomy with seton placement. This procedure involves cutting the local sphincter either partially or completely using a thread, while preserving the function of the surrounding sphincter and thoroughly removing the fistula tract wall to further eliminate the local lesions. After the surgery, due to the large wound area, it is recommended that patients stay in the hospital for dressing changes and symptomatic treatment to avoid complications like poor healing leading to pseudo-healing or wound infection. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
