Anal Fistula or Fistula in Ano

Let us see the general definition for Fistula. A Fistula is a permanent abnormal passage between two organs of the body or between an organ and the exterior of the body.  Now more about anal fistula.

Anal fistula or fistula in ano is an abnormal connection between the epithelialized surface of the anal canal and the perianal skin. In other wards it is a narrow tunnel running from the skin near passage and opening into the back passage higher up.

Generally this anal fistula is not harmful. But because this condition in anus, it will create discomfort and pain around back passage and a lump around anus. Anal Fistula is a small tunnel (whole like) connecting the anal gland from which the abscess arises to the skin outside anus. This can happen because of formation of the pus

Symptoms

• Constant pain.
• Sometimes pain with swelling,
• Irritation in the skin around anus,
• Oozing of pus, and
• Wet in the opening, feeling unwell in general.

Constipation plays main role for fistula also.  Smoking should be avoided. Should not touch tobacco and alcohol.

The ointment HADENSA will help to some extent. It should be used Thrice daily. Treatments are available in Ayurveda and siddha clinic, but in my opinion the best remedy is Surgery. Examination can be done by an ANOSCOPY

Take treatment at early stage itself. For complete eradication of anal fistula, Surgery is a better option. More option details, you can also check the wikipedia page on Anal fistula here
