A common a**l condition, an a**l fistula is a small tunnel that forms from the inside of the a**s to the skin around it, which can cause pain, swelling, skin irritation and discharge of pus or blood.
An a**l fistula will typically require surgical intervention in order to avoid serious complications that it can lead to, such as a**l abscesses and recurrent infections.
Depending on the location and complexity of the a**l fistula, surgery may involve cutting open the fistula and allowing the wound to heal on its own (lay open fistulotomy) or removing the infected tissue and sealing the fistula at both ends (LIFT procedure).
If you think you may have developed an a**l fistula, reach out for a detailed consultation. ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฒ
