What is an anal fistula?

An anal fistula can be described as tiny tunnel that forms between the rectum's end and the skin close to the anus. It's caused by an infection which causes pus to form within the tissue surrounding it. If the pus is drained it, a tiny tunnel is left in its place. In this case you'll feel symptoms like irritation, pain or bleeding. The treatment of medication is not able to heal an anal fistula.

Surgery is generally recommended for the majority of instances.

What is the cause of anal fistulas?

In your anus, there are glands that create fluid. In some instances they can become blocked or blocked. In this case they are a source of food for bacteria. The bacteria then form pockets of tissue that is infected. This is referred to by the abscess. If you don't receive the appropriate care, then the abscess can expand.

In some cases, abscesses may cut the skin close to your anus. This means that the abscess may drain or be surgically eliminated. The fistula is a small tunnel which connects the gland with the opening. When this happens, you'll suffer from an anal fistula that is uncomfortable.
