Scared of my surgery. fistula. help?

scared of my surgery. fistula. help?

okay so this is my first time on here. im a 21 yr old female. i had a fissure 2 years ago now (most painful thing ive ever experienced and never wish to again). i had a cyst removed from near my bowel in december. but the wound kept leaking and pussing. so it was determined i had a perenial fistula after the surgeon felt it. what are my options for this? do i have to have surgery? and if so what will they do and how dangerous is it? and whats my recovery time? do i have to stay in over night or can it be day surgery? and will the pain be as bad as my fissure?
