An anal fistula (known as "Bhagandar" in Hindi) is an abnormal tunnel that forms between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. It is often the result of a previous or existing anal abscess (infected pus-filled cavity). Fistula can cause recurring pain, pus or blood discharge, and can lead to serious complications if not treated properly. Luckily, people in Lucknow now have access to advanced laser surgery and Ayurvedic therapies to treat fistula safely and effectively.

🔍 What is Anal Fistula?

A fistula develops when an abscess near the anus doesn’t heal properly and forms a tract between the infected gland and the skin. This tunnel allows pus, stool, or fluid to leak, causing infection, pain, and skin irritation.

🚩 Signs and Symptoms of Fistula

If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from an anal fistula:

  • Continuous or intermittent pus discharge from an opening near the anus
  • Swelling or pain around the anal area
  • Repeated boils or abscesses near the anus
  • Bleeding or foul-smelling discharge from the tract
  • Painful bowel movements or discomfort while sitting
  • Fever or fatigue in case of infection

Note: Fistula symptoms can resemble other conditions like piles or fissure, so a clinical diagnosis is essential.

🧪 Types and Grades of Fistula

Anal fistulas are classified based on their path and complexity. The Parks Classification is widely used:

✅ 1. Intersphincteric Fistula

  • Most common type
  • Tract lies between the internal and external sphincter

✅ 2. Transsphincteric Fistula

  • Passes through both sphincters
  • May lead to muscle damage if untreated

✅ 3. Suprasphincteric Fistula

  • Complex tract passing above the sphincter
  • Rare and difficult to treat without surgery

✅ 4. Extrasphincteric Fistula

  • Least common and most complex
  • Requires advanced surgical intervention
