Brief Answer:
High fibre diet and plenty of fluids.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Since you are recovering, I wouldn't add any new medications. However I will suggest you take plenty of fibres in your diet and drink lots of fluids.

If necessary, you may take a stool softener such as Syp Lactulose to prevent the effects of straining which may aggravate / impair fistula healing.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarification.

Brief Answer:
Worthwhile to consult your surgeon...

Detailed Answer:
Fistula and other anal canal pathology are better appreciated by a broad light examination and or per rectal examination. A proctoscopic examination may be necessary in some cases. Therefore it would be appropriate to discuss with your treating surgeon and understand the current status.

Having said that, you can share pictures and let me see if I can make a comment. I haven't received any picture yet. You may want to upload the image again.
