What is Anal Fistula?

An anal fistula is a small tunnel that develops between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. It is usually the result of an infection near the anus causing a collection of pus (abscess) in the nearby tissue. When the pus drains away, it leaves a small channel behind.

⚠️ Unlike piles, fistulas DO NOT heal on their own. Leaving them untreated can lead to complex branching tracks.
