DISCLAIMER- MEDICAL EDUCATIONAL VIDEO. NOT TO PROMOTE SEXUALITY OR NUDITY. A fistula-in-ano is a small tunnel that connects an internal opening inside the anus to an external opening in the skin around the anus. Multiple fistulas in ano refer to having more than one such tunnel. These tunnels can form after an anal abscess, and they are typically treated surgically.
Elaboration:
Fistula-in-ano Formation:
A fistula develops when an anal abscess heals improperly, leaving a tunnel-like pathway. This tunnel can extend from the anal canal to the surrounding skin.
Multiple Fistulas:
While most people experience a single fistula, it's possible to have multiple fistulas.
Causes:
Anal fistulas are often associated with anal abscesses, which can result from infections or inflammation in the anal area.
Treatment:
Most fistulas require surgical intervention, which may involve opening the fistula tract and draining the abscess. Complex fistulas, including those with multiple tracts, may require more advanced surgical techniques.
Symptoms:
Fistulas can cause pain, swelling, redness, and discharge around the anus.
Conditions Associated with Fistulas:
In some cases, fistulas may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease.
