Understanding Anal Fistula

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin near the anus. Most fistulas develop as a complication of an anal abscess that failed to heal properly.

The main challenge in treating fistulas is closing the tract completely while preserving the sphincter muscles that control bowel movements. Dr. Krishnani's training in advanced techniques ensures the best approach for each patient.

Common Symptoms:

  • Persistent drainage or pus from an opening near anus
  • Pain and swelling around the anus
  • Recurring abscesses
  • Blood or discharge with stool

Frequently Asked Questions

A fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the inside of the anal canal to the skin around the anus. It usually develops after an anal abscess that doesn't heal completely.

Fistulas are classified as simple or complex based on their relationship to the sphincter muscles. Simple fistulas involve less sphincter; complex ones may involve more muscle or have multiple tracts.

Unlike some conditions, fistulas rarely heal without treatment. They require surgical intervention to close the abnormal tract and prevent recurrence.

The choice depends on fistula type, location, and complexity. Dr. Krishnani will recommend the most appropriate technique after thorough examination.
