Fistula Treatment in Delhi, India

An anal fistula is an abnormal connection or tunnel that forms between the inside of the anus and the skin around the anus. It usually develops as a result of an infection or abscess in the anal glands that fails to heal properly. Anal fistulas can cause discomfort, pain, and discharge and typically require surgical intervention for effective treatment.

Condition Name: Anal Fistula
Also Known As: Fistula-in-Ano
Treated by: Colorectal surgeon, General surgeon, Gastroenterologist

Symptoms

  • Pain and swelling around the anus
  • Recurrent abscesses near the anus
  • Discharge of pus or blood from an opening near the anus
  • Irritation or redness around the anus
  • Foul-smelling drainage
  • Pain during bowel movements
  • Fever (if infection is present)

Causes

  • An abscess in the anal glands that does not heal completely
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
  • Trauma or injury to the anal area
  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Tuberculosis or other systemic infections
  • Radiation therapy (rarely)

Diagnostic Evaluation

  • Physical examination: A doctor may feel for any abnormal openings or drainage near the anus
  • Digital rectal exam: To check for abnormalities inside the anus
  • Imaging tests: MRI, ultrasound, or fistulography may be used to visualize the fistula’s path
  • Medical history: Including past infections, abscesses, or symptoms related to bowel diseases

Fistula Treatment Options

An anal fistula usually requires surgery to fully heal. Non-surgical methods are not typically effective for treating fistulas.

Non-surgical treatments (for mild cases or preparation for surgery):

  • Antibiotics: To control infection, but they do not treat the fistula itself
  • Fibrin glue or plug: A less invasive option where glue or a plug is inserted into the fistula to close it (less commonly used)

Surgical treatments:

  • Fistulotomy: The most common surgery where the fistula tract is opened and allowed to heal from the inside out
  • Seton placement: A thread is placed in the fistula to keep it open and allow it to drain before further surgery
  • LIFT procedure (Ligation of the Intersphincteric Fistula Tract): A technique that preserves the sphincter muscles, reducing the risk of incontinence
  • Advancement flap surgery: Involves covering the fistula opening with healthy tissue after removing the infected tract

Commonly Affected Groups

  • People with a history of anal abscesses or infections
  • Individuals with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
  • Men are more commonly affected than women
  • Patients with diabetes or weakened immune systems
  • People who have undergone radiation therapy in the pelvic area

Results and Recovery

Most anal fistulas are successfully treated with surgery, and patients typically recover within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the procedure and the complexity of the fistula. Post-surgery care involves keeping the area clean, managing pain, and following up with the surgeon to ensure proper healing. In some cases, additional procedures may be required if the fistula is complex or if it recurs.

With proper care, Fistula Treatment in Delhi, India | O Positive Health can provide long-term relief and improved quality of life.
