An infected tunnel that forms between the skin and the muscular opening at the end of the digestive tract (anus) is referred to in medicine as an anal fistula.
An abscess that spontaneously drains or is surgically drained through the skin next to the anus is the most common cause of anal fistulas, which develop when an infection begins in the anal gland and travels through a tunnel under the skin to connect with the infected gland.
Causes–Anal abscesses are the most common cause of fistulas, but diverticulitis, Chron’s disease, STIs, trauma, tuberculosis, cancer, and a small number of other conditions may also cause fistulas on a less frequent basis.
Symptoms— The symptoms and warning signs of an anal fistula may include the following.
· Recurrent anal abscess
An abscess’s surrounding area is painful and swollen.
· Pain with bowel movements
· Bleeding
A fistula around the anus may leak bloody or foul-smelling pus; the pain may subside after the pus drains.
Skin irritation caused by ongoing drainage around the anus.
Chills, a fever, and a general sense of exhaustion.
