Fistula Treatment
What is Fistula Treatment?
An anal fistula, also known as Bhagandar or fistula-in-ano, is a small tunnel that connects the end of the bowel to the skin around the anus. It often forms due to an untreated or recurring anal abscess. A fistula has two openings: one internal (inside the rectum or anal canal) and one external (through the skin near the anus).
Fistulas can cause persistent pain, swelling, and discharge, severely impacting one’s quality of life. Treatment involves sealing the fistula, controlling infection, and promoting healing. Dr. Mahajan specializes in advanced techniques such as minimally invasive surgery and laser treatment for effective and lasting results.
Symptoms of Fistula
- Persistent, throbbing pain around the anus, worsened by sitting or bowel movements.
- Swelling, redness, or tenderness near the anal area.
- Foul-smelling discharge of pus, blood, or debris from the external opening of the fistula.
- Low-grade fever due to infection.
- Itching and discomfort in the anal region.
Causes of Fistula
- Anorectal Abscess: The most common cause, originating from infected anal glands that lead to abscess formation.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Conditions like Crohn’s disease or diverticulitis increase the risk.
- Malignancy: Rarely, anorectal cancer can contribute to fistula formation.
- Chronic Infections: Tuberculosis, HIV, or sexually transmitted infections can cause fistulas.
- Surgical Complications: Previous anorectal surgeries may sometimes result in fistulas.
