Treatment of Fistula in Ano

An anal fistula usually develops as a result of an anal abscess which is drained or bursts. Around half of people who develop an anal abscess will go onto develop an anal fistula. An anal fistula is a track which forms between the inside of the anus and the skin on the outside. This track will continue to drain pus like material and occasionally faecal matter.

Once a fistula has formed it is very unlikely to heal without treatment. Anal fistulae may also develop as a result of other conditions such as Crohn’s disease
