We don't treat the surgical condition alone.
Anorectal disease is rarely an isolated problem. Chronic constipation, recurrent diarrhea, diet, hydration and gastrointestinal dysfunction can all drive it — and cause it to return.
So the pathway has two connected stages: first, an accurate diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment for the condition; then, evaluation and management of the factors that contributed to it — using a functional-medicine-informed plan to support healing and reduce recurrence.
