What is an Anal Fistula?

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the anal canal to the skin near the anus. It often results from infection in the anal glands and can cause persistent pain, discharge, and irritation.

Chronic Anal Abscess

Infection of the anal glands leads to tunnel formation

Crohn’s Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease can cause fistulas

Trauma or Surgery

Injury to the anal area or prior surgery

Infections

Tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections, or other infections

Other Medical Conditions

Diabetes or immunocompromised states may worsen fistulas

You may require treatment if you experience:

Pain and swelling around the anus
Recurrent abscesses
Pus or blood discharge from the fistula opening
Irritation or itching near the anus
Pain during bowel movements
Fever in case of infection
