Anal Fistula Overview

An anal fistula is a channel that develops between the rectal interior and the outer anal skin, generally from an anorectal abscess. It develops under the skin and is open at both ends.

In most cases, it is a single canal, while other cases may find the fistula has branched into multiple openings in the skin. Fistulas unfortunately rarely heal on their own, prompting the need for surgery.

Anal Fistula Causes

In most cases, untreated anal abscesses are the cause of anal fistulas. An anal abscess is an infected pocket of pus in or around the anorectal area. While anal abscesses can usually be treated with antibiotics, some cases require more comprehensive measures to fully eliminate the infection. Statistics indicate that about 50% of anal abscesses will develop into an anal fistula.

Proper and swift treatment of an anal abscess can prevent the development of anal fistulas. To help you determine if you have an anal abscess, we’ve listed the symptoms below.

If you experience any of these, please make an appointment to see Dr. Murrell for a professional diagnosis:

  • Throbbing pain in the anus, which worsens when sitting
  • Visible irritation of perianal skin, including swelling and redness
  • Pus emission
  • Constipation
  • Pain during bowel movements
