Fistula Treatment in Indore

A fistula is an abnormal tunnel-like connection that forms between two organs or between an organ and the skin. Anal fistulas most commonly occur in the area around the anus and rectum and typically develop as a complication of an anal abscess. They can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, discharge of pus or blood, and recurrent infections.

Symptoms or Causes:

The primary symptom of an anal fistula is persistent drainage of pus, blood, or other fluids from an opening near the anus. Other symptoms may include pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness around the anus, as well as recurrent abscesses or infections in the anal region. Anal fistulas often develop as a result of an anal abscess, which forms when an anal gland becomes blocked and infected. When the abscess bursts or is drained, it may leave behind a fistula tract that connects the anal gland to the skin or another part of the intestine.

Treatment Options:

Treatment for anal fistulas aims to control symptoms, prevent complications such as recurrent abscesses or infections, and promote healing of the fistula tract. Treatment options may include antibiotics to treat underlying infections, sitz baths (warm water baths) to soothe the area and improve drainage, and surgical procedures to remove the fistula tract and repair the surrounding tissues. Surgical options for anal fistulas may include fistulotomy (cutting open the fistula tract), fistulectomy (removing the entire fistula tract), or placement of seton stitches to close the fistula over time gradually.
