What is Anal Fistula?
The anus is the external opening through which feces are expelled from the body. Just inside the anus are a few small glands. When one of these glands is occluded, an abscess (an infected cavity) may form. Anal abscesses are usually treated with surgical drainage, but some are naturally excreted. About 50% of these abscesses may develop into fistulas. At the fistula, a small tunnel connects the infected gland in the anus to the peri-anal skin opening.
