Anal fistulas usually do not heal completely on their own and may require medical or surgical treatment. The appropriate procedure depends on the location, complexity, and involvement of the anal sphincter muscles.
At Hegde Hospital, our specialists carefully evaluate the fistula tract and recommend a treatment approach based on the individual patient's condition. Minimally invasive techniques may be considered in suitable cases to reduce tissue damage and support recovery.
What is an Anal Fistula?
An anal fistula is a small abnormal passage connecting the anal canal or rectum to the skin near the anus. It often develops following an anal abscess when the infected area does not heal properly.
Common symptoms include persistent pus or fluid discharge, pain, swelling, skin irritation, and recurrent abscesses near the anus. Some patients may notice a small opening or wound around the anal area.
Diagnosis usually involves a physical examination, and additional imaging may be recommended for complex or recurrent fistulas.
