If fistula and piles is still severe then you should not give IFT. But if it already treated and piles is under control then you can give IFT.
Most important thing is you need to assess the patient thoroughly for the source of pain only then you can treat him well. Use all the special test for back pain. Take care of red flags. If piles and fistula still worse then first you should send the patient to concerning Surgeon for appropriate treatment. Because I some cases fistula can also be source of back pain.
Thank you
