Science and innovation have led to the development of fistula medicine to cure the formation of a fistula. A fistula is the formation of the hole either between the two body organs or between the body organ and the skin. Like if the fistula is created between the walls of the vagina, it will be called as vaginal fistula.

Some of the forms of the fistula can be the vaginal fistula, obstetric fistula, and a few others. The best way to treat the disease is to consume regularly the fistula medicine that will yield long-term benefits.

Obstetric fistula happens to the females who give birth to a child without much of medical facilities.

Any kind of tissue damage or the prolonged obstructed labor can be the reason of fistula. The disease is common with the females who do not have sufficient health care in the areas nearby. Normally, fistula is painless, but it can be harmful. The openings in the vagina can cause the leakage of urine and feces into it.

Some of the clear signs of vaginal fistula include foul-smelling discharge coming from the vagina. There are chances that your genitals may get infected and sore. A common way to get the vaginal fistula is treated by taking the fistula medicine. Another way is to get the colostomy done in which as soon as the fistula gets dry and repair heals, they will remove the colostomy.

Similar to vaginal fistula, we may have anal cracks and tears that refer to Fissure formation. However, anal fissures are caused by trauma to the anal canal and are quite painful. One of the quick healing remedies for the anal fissure is fissure medicine.

Fissures are often painful, accompanied with the bleeding, itching, and malodorous discharge. For the immediate relief, doctors prescribe the fissure medicine that may include ointment containing anesthetics, steroids, nitroglycerin, and some drugs.

Both men and women are affected equally with the anal fissures. Surgery is the preferred treatment to get immediate relief from the fissure. Other than the trauma some of the possible causes of fissure could be anal cancer, leukemia, infectious diseases like TB. Pain in the cracks and openings can make urination worse. Apart from fissure medicine, change of lifestyle and food habits can help alleviate the pain of the disease.

In both the case, be it vaginal fistula or the anal fissure, it is important that the patients follow doctor's prescription and post surgery advice. It will help patients to have the speedy recovery.
