Brief Answer:
What type of fistula is it?

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You seem to have fistula-ano. There is no image, kindly upload again.

Definitive cure of anal fistula is surgery and is a minor surgical procedure. Otherwise it can be managed at home by avoiding constipation, avoiding straining at stools, drinking enough fluids and cleaner water, applying vaseline or lidocaine gel every time before defecation.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
