About anal fistula
An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin around the anus, most often after an anal abscess has burst or been drained. It causes pain, swelling, itching, repeated discharge of pus or blood, and sometimes fever when an abscess forms again. Crohn’s disease, past surgery, injury and infection are known causes. Diagnosis needs an examination by a doctor, and an MRI scan may be done to map the tunnel. Many fistulas need surgery to heal fully, so it is important not to delay assessment, particularly if there is a painful swelling, fever or ongoing discharge. Good hygiene, sitz baths and a high-fibre diet that avoids constipation support healing.
