A fistula is an abnormal connection or tunnel that forms between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It usually develops as a result of an infection or abscess in the anal glands. Left untreated, a fistula can lead to recurrent infections and other complications.
Signs and Symptoms:
- Persistent pain or swelling around the anus.
- Discharge of pus or blood near the anus, often accompanied by an unpleasant odor.
- Irritation, redness, or skin infections around the affected area.
- Fever or general discomfort in some cases.
