Don’t live with a fistula like I did for two years. Get the damn surgery. It’s an outpatient procedure and not that bad at all. I was out of surgery, on a plane, and back home in less than 5 hours. I was so afraid of fly home the same day I was having anxiety attacks leading up to the surgery. It was a waste of time. I felt no pain leaving the hospital and felt no pain till two days later. Advil every 6 hours did it for me. It worked fine. I was so afraid of the pain during recovery I had my surgeon prescribed oxycodone just in case. The surgeon prescribed me 12. I didn’t take one. I was tripping out of my mind. Don’t let being afraid of pain/recovery stop/postpone your surgery. It’s not that bad.
Glad to hear that. Did you have seton placement as well or just fistulotomy?
@@suwai.artwork partial with seton. Complete horseshoe fistula multiple exits waited two year because of misinformation on the internet.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Do you still have fistulas present or are they completely gone?
@@zuvq5021 Depends on high or low level fistula.. I've had a high level hybrid fistulectomy and I am 4 months in with one minor fistulectomy done one week ago because I've had a tear in my rectum due constipation or bad healing. They've open the wound again so it can heal and fill up again naturally.. It's really challenging and the dressing is crucial. Good luck to everyone who's on that journey. The sooner the better would have been in my case. I waited 1 year for it heal naturally with meds.
Since I gave birth to my son (2 years ago) I suffered every time I pooped and after a year of suffering, I found your channel. Your advice helped me to heal my fissures (I assume were fissures since hemorroide cream burned) Now it’s been a year that I’m pain free and all I have to do is drink at least 1 Lt of water a day so I won’t get constipated
That's amazing what did you do?
Really you are fine now?
What did you do?
What you did plz tell me
Iam suffering from 1 year
@@ashley14579 drink more water. No more pressure on anus while doing..
Avoid spicy foods for a while.
Use floor toilets or use stool to keep your legs and body position like a squat..
I just had a fistulotomy, glad I have done it. My CRS was awesome. Took a year to get to this point, starting with a draining seton. The surgical wound sucked for about a week. but it is healing pretty quick. Only got a few weeks left and I will be as good as new ^_^
Thanks for the info Dr Chung. I appreciate your videos as they have reassured me on this journey.
How much did the surgery cost?
Question is how do treat the smell? I've done the surgery as well and the leaking is pretty much better than before but I just can't get rid of that smell at all I completely smell shiit no matter how I bath even if it's 3 times a day, even sit-in bath don't work. So how do you treat the smell so you can have better hygiene and cope around people??
Indeed the friendly proctologist! Bravo Dr Chung!
Hi Dr Chung, just wanted to update you on my condition since I have been taking raw honey everyday for my fistula, so it's been 8 months since I've been taking raw honey, and happy to say my fistula is gone, I believe it healed the tunnel from the inside out, and the hole where all the infection came out is gone. I was getting a abscess every 3 weeks before I started this trial with raw honey, I'm proof that it works, and I'm very happy that I don't have to go through that pain anymore.
How did you use it?? With warm water, empty stomach??
@@avseqsingh7689 I take 2 tablespoons of raw honey in the morning before breakfast, and 2 tablespoons before bed, wash it down with glass of cold water, must use raw honey, and take it twice a day, every day, I think you'll see the benefits of it within a month.
I developed a fistula after hemorrhoidectomy and am scheduled for a fistula surgery in 2 weeks. Goodness slightly terrified, the other surgery was the worst thing I’ve ever been through.
Best to you!!
@@yourfriendlyproctologist thank you!
I had the exact same thing happen. Just had my second surgery for the fistula yesterday. It it WAY less painful than the hemorrhoidectomy! Like worlds easier! I didn’t even need to take the pain pill prescribed and I feel capable of both walking and sitting. My surgeon said 7-10 recovery but it was yesterday and I’m feeling great. I hope the same goes for you! 🍀
What anaesthesia did they use on you? General or regiona? Please let me know. Thanks @@TheHeBGeeBees
@@wakiilcaashaq8270 I had general anesthesia as well as regional, I’m assuming regional because when I woke up I was very numb down there.
Much love to you Dr Chung !!! 😭👊👊👌👌💪
Incredibly painful condition. Never stops. Desperation for the pain to stop. Its worse than a bad toothache

@@mphophandavhudzi2815 Not so sure about yours. I try very hard to clean the area with my finger and water pressure. Then pat it with some tissue to make sure there's no residue. Then i do sitz bath with cyteal solution and then i take a bath and finally you flush the wound and do the dressing with mess insertion. Total is always over an hour to reclaim my hygiene after each dump. The thing is our wound are different. You'll have to see with your doctor
Almost 3 years my fistula, I can feel the track... with small opening hole... just packed it with cotton...clean it...and I enjoyed my life & outdoor activities... sports etc.... no pain, just liquid came out...🙏🙏🙏

Hi Dr. Chung, I love your shows. I currently have anal fistula and I have this for 4 years now. I was told that mine is very complex. The previous doctor after doing multiple surgeries, he just let me be. The new doctor have some hope. He gave me two options; cutting seton or an endorectal flap. I understand that cutting Seton is the tighten up up the Seton. Does this method cause a lot of pain and discomfort including fecal incontinence?
Hey.. what do you think about Endoscopic ablation as a treatment? Thx!
Thanks for all that you do, Dr. Chung!! I have a question about anal fistula and hoping you have some answers.... I developed anal fistula about a year ago, which was painful with pus discharge for first 6+ months. But then the symptoms started to improve and for the past 3 months, there are no symptoms (pain, itch, discharge etc). And in the past 2 weeks, the outer fistula opening on the skin also seems to have closed. Is this a problem, Dr Chung? You had mentioned that the passageway should remain open else it will build up infection/abscess . What can I do to reopen the outer opening - if you have any suggestions then please do let me know..... Also, in your opinion - can anal fistula heal like this on its own? I did not go through any surgery or take any medicine; I just do my best to prevent constipation and also, avoid certain foods.
Have you considered scheduling a consultation with him? A doctor can not adequately guide your personal medical condition via TH-cam.
My symptoms have improved also, but only after I quick drinking beer every weekend. I notice the day after I drank alcohol, my fistula would be inflamed and sore. For the most part I doesn’t bother me at all, as long as it’s draining
I just had Fistulectomy 3days ago. I had my fistula in ano for about 2years+ and decided to make it removed. now, I'm still at my healing stage. The doctor doesn't want it to suture b'coz it might go back again so he left it open. Hopefully it will heal soon 🤞🙏🙏
I m currently living with a fistula for 9 years now.i did 3 surgeries but the tunmel is still there and oazing pus.blood etc......i djnt know what to do anymore
Doc in your opinion, whats the best way to say thank you to a surgeon and their team?
When I tell you the journey is a JOURNEY….
Well said!
Dr Chung you mentioned in your other videos that sitz bath is not good for hemorrhoids. In your opinion, Is sitz bath okay for fistula though?
Thanks doctor.
Doctor you are great
I got intersphiteric Anal fistula...as post Pilonidal sinus surgery....!!!
Sir here it has formed as a balloon-like structure.....!!!
Whenever I use excess water during the washroom.....some amount of water enters into that tube and it expands small quantities....and deflates itself by movement after sometime....!!!
Sir can it heal automatically....????
It's still in the preliminary stage.....
It's hard for me to say without seeing you. I recommend seeing a specialist. Best to you!
In my notifications, the title of this video was unfortunately truncated. Fistula was shortened to fist, and I momentarily panicked. 😂😂
I have a complex fistula which is having vessels on right and left sides I've have roughly 10 small operations and am currently waiting on 1 final treatment which is getting a small camera and laser inserted into the vessels to burn it off on each end I honestly hope it goes well as I'm scared to go swimming in pools and in the sea with my children incase I get an infection
Also the outer layer is automatically tearing up due to movements....!!!
Hence it's automatically draining out.....!!
Can it heal automatically.......????
Please answer........!!!
I suffer with a Nosocomephobia very badly and I have a fistula currently and am in a lot of pain often and occasionally get low grade fevers. I’ve been to the hospitals many times before but I break down and cry and panic every time I even think about the possibility of having to go to the hospital. I’m still working up the courage to go but I suffer with ulcerative colitis so I have the use the bathroom often. I’m still so scared I just don’t know if I can do it
Dr chung does that mean sitz bath can't work either?
Doc ive been living with this for over 20 yrs . Do i have to go for a surgery?
There are a lot of those ads....especially fake reviews and "good experience"
Dr Chung do video on Rectal prolapse.
Would probiotics help that?
Need speed 3X talks slow but helpful info
What is the difference between a fistula and a fissure
A Fistula is a tract from the inside of the anus to the outer skin. This is caused by an abscess which is caused by a bacterial infection, that eventually bores it's way through muscle tissue etc to the outer of your body. A fissure is a tare usually around or inside the Anus. I have unfortunately had both and they are extremely painful. Hope this explains what they are.
My fistula is not heal even i start the biologic treatment,what do you think i need treatment?
Does fistula remains same or it increases with time? If there is simple fistula, does it branch with with time?
as far as i know, uncomplicated simple fistulas do not branch....this is what my Dr told me
Drinking 1 liter water early morning with empty stomach is gud or mad. Before morning poop
Hello, I have a solitary uncler in the rectum, is this the same thing as a fistula or fissure? Thanks
Hi doctor i have fistulotomy 3 weeks ago i was doing fine but today i drive a car for 2 hours a git some little bit blood and puss is that normal and how long it will take to heal my wound and my skin back ??
There are also doctors in India that are doing non-surgical procedures that deal claim they can completely heal anal fistulas with numerous video testimonies from their patients all over the world...Your thoughts please
He talks about this in this video.
I don't know if this will help anyone, but it has helped with my fistula so far, haven't had any infection since I've been taking at least 2 tablespoons of raw honey every day, it must be raw honey, it has natural healing properties, and naturally anti bacterial, bacteria can't live in it, and it has many other benefits, and it can't hurt you. Give it a try, what do you have to lose.
Thanks for sharing!
That’s about the only sugar I indulge in. Every night I have a bow of plain yogurt with drizzled honey and a handful of blueberries.
@@earthpond8043 make sure you're taking raw honey, it has all the benefits, the other Honey is processed and heated to 165 degrees, and pasteurized, it takes most of the good things out of it, you can buy raw honey at the store, make sure it says raw.
I have seen that work well for an abdominal fistula. But the dr would fill the fistula its self with the honey. The patient was diabetic and wasn’t careful to maintain her diet. After about 6 weeks of the treatment it healed. Everyday the dr would flush the fistula with a very mild Clorox saline water then refill it with raw honey. About a year after it had healed several small pockets of honey appeared on the scar!
That's great information!!! So when you say you have no infections you mean no abscesses??? Is there any specific honey you use??? I've heard that Manuka Honey is really good to fight against bacteria.
Hey doc... While appliying ointment in anal area i got injured like a tear.. because of dry ointment.. and this injury healed withing 4 days...but after a month i feel like a pile mass in my rectum...can u tell me this pile mass occured due to injury or this is a simply grade 1 pile mass..??
Hello Doctor Chung , I have been having anal fistula for more than a month pain is bad but there was no rectal bleeding or anything, but suddenly fistula pain went away may be the pus drainage happened , but since then I have been noticing bleeding in every bowel movement for almost 2 weeks went to the doctor and they said it’s only the hemorrhoids, but again for 2 days the anal fistula started to flare up and bleeding in bowel stopped, I am confused what’s happening with me please advise
It's difficult for me to say without seeing you. I recommend seeing a specialist. Best to you!
Im post lis 7 months. My back passage gets massively inflamed once every day 7-10 days. No puss. Does that sound like a fistula?
SO WHATS THE SOLUTION DOCTOR
I am confused, in earlier Videos you said to heal it with Pranicura and NOT get surgery..?!
I'm not sure which video you watched, but I definitely did not say to" heal fistulas with pranicura and not get surgery."
I had an CVAAFT & advancement flap surgery for a horseshoe complex fistula surgery on 2nd May. Are there any tips you would like to give please ?
Well am back to see his videos everytime lol i just had my second laser surgery about week ago, the first surgery help a bit but it didnt heal so now am on my secon one withe a drainage seaton is kind of weird because is not going through the anus just on the outside of the skin to help it drain i still need to come back to get the seaton remove, also am waiting on the doctor to tell me what is my next step i hate this hope you all have better experience than me i been having the fistula for about 4 years now am tired of it and trying to see if i can get it close up with laser 😢
I have a question.....please answer.
So if I have a fissure for lets say the rest of my life (i'm 25 now😂), is that dangerous....
I am sometimes doing well, sometimes not really...but I am scared of an operation. I can't heal it completely for a year now.
You have to get surgery
I did and 2 yrs no issues
People can have fissures for a long time. I recommend seeing a specialist to make sure it's just a fissure. Best to you!
@@yourfriendlyproctologist thanks so much for the answer. I did see a specialist and I am figuring out the next move. Thank you so much doc
I had my sigmoid colon, rectum and anus removed 9 years ago due to cancer. Both incisions healed quickly and with no issues. Several months ago I noticed a clear, pale pink discharge in my intergluteal cleft. Not a large amount at first but over the past 2 weeks it has turned pinker and if I don’t keep it bandaged, it will leak through my clothing. The incision is a little swollen and tender(especially when sitting) but not so painful that I can’t deal with it. Just curious why the is would suddenly occur 9 years later. Thanks!
Hey dr I've a question
I got cut on anal qucion with finger nail
That side cushion feel slightly hard then other side. Is it okay? And my body gonna heal that?
Cannot imagine that he has problems too!
Hello....surgery waaft for fistula ?
How good IT is and If it has high relapses?
So the ayurveda guys copy cutting seton and claim it theirs?
Nope. It was one research journal article, which in my opinion was a very weak study.
Hi doc, just want to ask, i got fistulectomy april 11, 2023 and during recovery i notice small hole was deform and small amount of watery with thicker yellowish transfarent but no bad smell that hole located near anus base in your experience how long should the drainage last? There was small string left by the doctor because during operation they just put the string to stop small bleeding. And i notice it almost 1 month now that hole till now did not close. But i believe it will close because when i check it become small and small. One thing that i worried is those small amount of watery and tchiker yellowish transfarent . And what should I do?
Your advice is much appriciated.
Thank you doc.
Remember your anal glands themselves help create natural mucus. ( because they are so close in proximity to the newly formed tract of scar tissue healing around the medical string ) watery or thicker discharge can and probably will come out of the small hole for a while.. Also many foods and drinks ( especially alcohol ) can ramp up and increase inflammation and mucus production.. if you have some problems with drainage, it may be tied to dietary choices.
I got a superstitial fistula......can this heal naturally.....???
MINE IS NOT IN THE ANUS!! MINE IS IN THE GROIN! AND THERE IS NOOOOOOOOO CURE!!
IT IS NOW LINKED WITH THE COLON! ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS OPERATE!!! MANY HAVE HAD 25 OPERATIONS AND STILL NO CURE. SO THE PEOPLE ON HERE SAYING HOW EASY IT WAS TO GET WELL, LETS HOPE IT DONT COME BACK, I BET IT DOES
❤
👍🏻👍🏻

I can do Filac, but I will not use it for every fistula.
@johnboyer2781 don't be harsh to the doc. He is helping millions with his amazing explanations. If yours healed then good dor for you. Remember fistula are so different
