How do medications treat bladder fistula?

Medications usually cannot directly treat a bladder fistula. In most cases, surgery is necessary to repair and cure it. However, some fistulas are complications of other conditions. In these cases, medication can be important to treat the primary disease and prevent further fistulas from developing. For example, the inflammation of diverticulitis can cause new fistulas to develop even after one has been repaired. Therefore, it is important to follow the prescribed treatment for any condition that can cause bladder fistulas, even after you have had surgery for one.
