Are antibiotics repeatedly being prescribed for an anal fistula, but the symptoms keep returning?
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the anal canal to the skin near the anus. Antibiotics may help control associated infection, but they generally cannot close an established fistula tract.
In this video, understand:
- What an anal fistula actually is.
- Why antibiotics alone may not resolve it.
- Why pain, swelling and repeated discharge need evaluation.
- Why fistula treatment depends on the tract and sphincter involvement.
- How treatment options differ between simple and complex fistulas.
The right treatment requires an accurate diagnosis, not repeated treatment of symptoms alone.
