ANAL FISTULA _ DO They ever heal?

My first surgery- seton, second seton replacement, third advance flap, fourth LIFT, fifth seton again.

All the surgieries tried and failed and I am currently living with seton. Just had seton placed yesterday and cant explain my pain and mental state. If there is hell I am experiecing it. I live with a hope that one day I will heal.

Has anyone succesfully conquered Fistula?
Is cutting seton, AFP  successfull?
I have a complex fistula and dont know what I should do. I am in sydney and treated by Dr. Simon Chew.

Hi,

I had suffered from Anal fistula for 3 years and i know it's HELL..

First it started with Anal abscess. Which got removed by general surgeon led to anal fistula.

First surgery - Fibrin Glue. Failed completely.
Second - Ayurvedic medicine treatment - Didn't helped
Third Surgery - Seton (not cutting) placement. It worked finally !!

I am glad. Another thing i wanted to do is Kshara Sutra (In ayurveda)
It's just like Seton. So i did Seton first which worked.

I was getting recurring abscesses later.

I am using Homeopathic medicines for anal fistula.
(Mimosa Pudica)

What i suggest you as you said it's complex fistula:

- Go Raw and Vegan
- Drink plenty 4 to 5 litres of water per day
- First thing in morning after your brush, Drink 1liter water (warm)
- Eat combination of sprouts (mung bean) + coconut + dates + Soaked nuts (soak nuts overnight almonds, pistachio, walnut, peanut)
- If you want to eat cooked food eat only whole grains (afternoon lunch)
- Eat only fruits for dinner + you can combine soaked nuts also with fruits
- Don't drink water until 1 to 2 hours after food
- Drink wheat grass juice in morning (Get wheat grass powder from market)


RAW FOOD is the only answer for anal fistula.

Good luck..

Yes i had one. It took 4 months to heal to where the could start to pull the bands that help bring the muscle tighter and have the c-ton moving outward.  Then after all that it was closed.  The track got infected an started to open. But I knew it felt funny and the doc put me on flaygl and cipro.  an it closed up no surgry.  Let me know if you have more questions.  I have more on te topic but I didn't want to over do it my first respose to you.  Don't give up - You are stronger than what you think mate.
