Expert Fistula Treatment Hospital in Ahmedabad
Anal fistula is a medical condition in which a small tunnel forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin around the anus. This usually develops due to an infection in the anal glands that leads to an abscess and creates a passage under the skin.Fistula can cause persistent discomfort, swelling, and discharge if left untreated. In many cases, the condition does not heal on its own and requires medical treatment or surgical intervention.

Our specialists evaluate each patient carefully to determine the type and severity of the fistula before recommending the most suitable treatment approach.With modern techniques and personalized care, our hospital aims to ensure effective treatment and faster recovery for patients suffering from anal fistula.
What Is Anal Fistula?
An anal fistula is an abnormal connection between the anal canal and the skin near the anus. It usually develops after an abscess and can cause pain, infection, and discharge.
Common Symptoms of Anal Fistula:
- Persistent discharge or pus near the anus
- Pain or swelling around the anal area
- Recurrent anal abscesses
- Irritation and redness of surrounding skin
Early diagnosis and treatment prevent chronic infection and complications.

Types of Fistula We Treat
1. Simple Fistula :
Straightforward fistula with a single tract; easier to treat.
2. Complex Fistula:
Multiple tracts, crossing sphincter muscles, or associated with other conditions.
3. Recurrent Fistula:
Fistula that reappears after previous treatment.
4. High Fistula:
Involving significant portions of the anal sphincter, requiring specialized care.
Using advanced diagnostic tools such as clinical examination, MRI fistulography, and endoanal ultrasound, Dr. Soham Patel accurately maps the fistula to plan the most effective and least invasive treatment.
CAUSES Of Anal Fistula
1. Anal Abscess or Infection :
Most fistulas develop after an infection in the anal glands that leads to a pus-filled abscess. When the abscess drains, a tunnel may remain under the skin.
2. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases:
Conditions such as Crohn’s disease can increase the risk of developing fistula due to chronic inflammation in the digestive tract.
3.Trauma or Injury:
Injury to the anal region or previous surgery may sometimes lead to the formation of a fistula.
4. Untreated Anal Conditions:
Long-standing infections, untreated piles, or repeated abscess formation can contribute to fistula development.
Understanding the underlying cause helps doctors choose the most effective treatment for each patient.
Symptoms Of Anal Fistula
1. Persistent Pain Around the Anus :
Continuous pain or discomfort around the anal area is one of the most common symptoms of fistula.
2. Pus or Blood Discharge:
Many patients experience discharge of pus or blood from a small opening near the anus.
3. Swelling or Redness:
Swelling, redness, or irritation near the anal opening may indicate infection.
4. Pain During Bowel Movements:
Patients may experience pain while passing stool due to inflammation in the anal region.
