Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Since you have problem since 2007, it is definitely a cause of concern ; fistula i ano with bleeding can be due to a chronic condition like Crohn's or tuberculosis hence I would advise you the following:
Get the stool checked for three consecutive days.
Per-rectal digital examination by a General Surgeon, ano-proctoscopy and get an appointment for colonoscopy.
Test of blood and urine.
All these will lead to a very proper diagnosis and hence help for the management of the area affected
You may need a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics.
Take laxatives and have Sitz bath in a tub with warm water.
I find this answer helpful
