Brief Answer:
Surgery is the treatment of choice for Anal fistula.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Anal Fistula is communication from the skin outside to anal canal / Rectum inside. It is a tract communicating two structures. The tract cannot be closed by medicines.
Surgery is the only option.
You can consult a senior Surgical Gastroenterologist of your area and get it operated.
Nothing to worry.
It will be cured.

Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
