I'm sorry to hear about the discomfort you're experiencing with anal itching and pain due to a fistula. This condition can be quite distressing.
Here are some steps you can take to manage your symptoms:
Pain and Inflammation Relief: Medications like Aceclo Plus Tablet, which contains Aceclofenac (a pain reliever) and Paracetamol (a fever reducer), may help reduce pain and inflammation. However, this should only be taken under a doctor's prescription and guidance.
Hygiene: Keep the anal area clean and dry. Use gentle, unscented wipes or warm water to clean after bowel movements. Avoid harsh soaps or scrubbing.
Diet: Maintain a high-fiber diet including dals (lentils), millets, vegetables, and fruits to prevent constipation and reduce strain during bowel movements.
Avoid Irritants: Avoid spicy foods and excessive caffeine or alcohol, which can worsen irritation.
Medical Evaluation: Anal fistulas often require evaluation by a colorectal surgeon or a proctologist. They can assess the fistula and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include surgical intervention.
Please consult a colorectal surgeon or proctologist promptly to get a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan. If pain or symptoms worsen, seek immediate medical attention.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're experiencing anal itching and pain due to a fistula.
