REMICADE is also indicated for reducing the number of draining enterocutaneous and rectovaginal fistulas and maintaining fistula closure in patients with fistulizing CD. Many people with heart failure should not take REMICADE; so, prior to treatment, patients should discuss any heart condition with their doctor.
Can you heal a fistula without surgery?
Treatment with fibrin glue is currently the only non-surgical option for anal fistulas. It involves the surgeon injecting a glue into the fistula while you're under a general anaesthetic. The glue helps seal the fistula and encourages it to heal.
How can I heal my fistula naturally?
- Soaking in a warm bath 3 or 4 times a day.
- Wearing a pad over your anal area until healing is complete.
- Resuming normal activities only when you are cleared by your surgeon.
- Eating a diet high in fiber and drinking plenty of fluids.
- Using a stool softener or bulk laxative as needed.
