Anal fistula is the medical term for an infected tunnel that develops between the skin and the muscular opening at the end of the digestive tract (anus). Most anal fistulas are the result of an infection that starts in an anal gland. This infection results in an abscess that drains spontaneously or is drained surgically through the skin next to the anus. The fistula then forms a tunnel under the skin and connects with the infected gland. Causes--Most fistulas result from an anal abscess. A small number of fistulas may less frequently be caused by other processes such as Chrons disease, sexually transmitted diseases, trauma, tuberculosis, cancer, or diverticulitis Symptoms-- The following may be symptoms or signs of an anal fistula � Recurrent anal abscess � Pain and swelling around abscess � Pain with bowel movements � Bleeding � Bloody or foul-smelling pus from an opening around the anus. The pain may decrease after the fistula drains. � Irritation of the skin around the anus due to persistent drainage. � Fever, chills, and a general feeling of fatigue.
