Anyone without Fistula surgery for years?

i had an anal abscess in 2011, it formed a fistula back then. Since 2015 onwards, it stopped bothering me... occasionally it forms a tiny pea shaped bump if im too constipated or put pressure in that area by doing any weight lifting. Then it pops open and fresh blood drains. im managing my diet with everyday psyllium husk regularly, not to eat any gassy foods such as broccoli or beans etc. Eating only fully cooked foods. Keep the area clean, wash after bowel movements. I guess it became dormant and quiet, unless I get overly constipated or gassy. If I do, the skin surface bursts ooen and blood drains, then the skin tear heals in a week.

Suggestions?

    my fistula started back in 2018 until like Feb. 2019 then it was gone for like 6 months then back again for less than a month and now in 2020 is back ... over a week now with pain... hopefully it heals and i keep my diet and stool softener because I do not want to get LIS.
