  • Abstract:
  • Background Fistula in ano is a common and often debilitating condition that can cause pain, discharge, and recurrent infections. Conventional treatments typically involve surgical interventions, which may not always be desirable due to the risk of complications or the need for a prolonged recovery period. Homeopathy offers a potential alternative with remedies such as Hepar Sulph. and Silicea, which are thought to promote healing and reduce inflammation. However, their efficacy in fistula management has not been extensively studied. Objective This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Hepar Sulph. and Silicea in managing fistula in ano, focusing on their ability to alleviate symptoms, promote healing, and reduce recurrence of infections. Methods: A clinical trial was conducted involving 60 patients diagnosed with fistula in ano, randomly assigned to receive either Hepar Sulph. or Silicea treatment. The remedies were prescribed based on individual symptom profiles and potency (30C). Patients were monitored for changes in pain, discharge, healing of the fistula, and recurrence rates over a 6-month period. Clinical evaluations, including imaging and symptom tracking, were performed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Results Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in symptom reduction. Patients treated with Hepar Sulph. showed faster reduction in pain and discharge, with 70% reporting complete healing at 6 months. The Silicea group exhibited gradual healing, with 60% achieving symptom relief and a notable reduction in recurrence rates. No severe adverse effects were reported. The efficacy was significantly higher in the Hepar Sulph. group, particularly in reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair. Conclusion: Hepar Sulph. and Silicea both demonstrate therapeutic potential in the management of fistula in ano, with Hepar Sulph. proving more effective in symptom management and healing. These findings suggest that homeopathic remedies could serve as viable adjuncts or alternatives to traditional treatments. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are recommended to validate these findings and optimize treatment protocols.
