Hi
Infact the treatment is only surgical .
You can do the following till you make a decision to go for surgery .
-Take a course of antibiotics and in my opinion Co-amoxiclav and metronidazole for a week , if not already taken any antibiotics.
- do sitz bath in a hot/lukewarm water 3 times a day
- regular walk /exercises daily if you dont have any restrictions to do that .
- Good healthy diet
- To maintain a proper weight proportionate to your height (normal BMI 18-25).
_ proper maintenance of your personal and perianal hygiene.
Hope these measure help you to certain extent but not a complete cure.
Thank you
