How to treat anal fistula?

Anal fistula is a very troublesome disease symptom, which is very destructive to the body. Patients often suffer from the torture of the disease. The occurrence of anal fistula is related to the patient's poor work and rest habits and exercise. Therefore, people with poor resistance or who engage in mechanical repetitive work for a long time are most likely to get the disease. Let's take a look at how to treat anal fistula?

Surgical treatment:

(1) In the case of anal fistula with concurrent infection, if surgery is not possible due to other physical factors, a small incision can be made on the surface of the infected area for drainage or pus can be drawn out with a syringe. This method has an immediate effect, but it is only a temporary relief and radical surgery will be needed in the future.

(2) Drainage by catheterization or hanging wires For high-position fistulas or complex fistulas with multiple tracts, surgery is not an option. However, in order to prevent the condition from getting worse or spreading, a drainage tube or drainage strip can be placed in the fistula tract and flushed with drugs every day. Although this cannot cure the condition, it can control the condition.

(3) Anal fistula incision is the most classic and mainstream surgical procedure for anal fistula. More than 90% of low-position anal fistulas are treated with this method.

(4) Fistula removal surgery can be used for low-position anal fistulas that are completely adhered and thin, and cannot be penetrated by a probe.

(5) The main lesion resection and branch duct placement are suitable for various complex anal fistulas. During the operation, the main focus must be located first, as well as the fistula at the internal opening and anal canal, and this part is directly incised. Expand and create external exports. Open the fistula between the external opening and the main focus, and place a drainage strip or drainage tube. It is removed about 7 to 10 days after surgery.

(6) The thread hanging technique is suitable for high anal fistula. Thread hanging technique is the main method for treating high anal fistula both at home and abroad. Using a wire instead of a knife to perform slow cutting can not only cut off the wall of the anal fistula, but also cause inflammatory adhesion of the broken ends to prevent retraction, which can appropriately play a role in protecting the anal function. But the disadvantage is that it is very painful, especially because it requires a second tightening of the thread, and the course of treatment is relatively long.
