When you sit too much and your perianal fistula starts to hurt for days what exactly is happening? is it getting infected or it is just a the wound starts to hurt? and how to response to the pain? immediate medicine or wait for it to heal by itself?

Sitting can put pressure on the area causing discomfort. These fistula generally require treatment otherwise there are recurrent symptoms. For pain you can try sitting on a pillow, sitz baths and avoiding hard stools. Good luck
