An anal fistula is a condition characterized by an abnormal connection between the rectal canal and the skin around the anus, often resulting from an untreated anal abscess. Symptoms include recurrent anal abscesses, pain and swelling around the anus, and the discharge of pus. Diagnosis involves a physical examination and may include additional tests such as anoscopy, ultrasound, or MRI. Treatment primarily involves surgical intervention, as there is no medication to cure anal fistulas. The surgical approach can vary depending on the complexity of the fistula and may include procedures like fistulotomy, seton placement, or the use of plugs to close the fistula.
