What is Fistula?

An anal fistula is a medical terminology used for an infected tube that grows within anal channel and skin of the anus. In the majority of the cases, fistula is the result of a consequence of an anal abscess and appears just below the anal skin. The condition results in an abscess that contains pus and fluid. It develops multiple holes in the latter phase of the disease.

Types of Fistula

Anal Fistulas are of five kinds as follows:

  • Extra-sphincteric fistula
    This type of fistula develops near the rectum or sigmoid colon. The rectum is the part of colon above the anal canal, and sigmoid is the part of colon above the rectum. From here they move down and open in the skin surrounding the anus.
  • Inter-sphincteric fistula
    It is the outcome of a perianal abscess. In this, fistula tract forms within the internal sphincter and the intersphincteric space, and then ends at the perineum.
  • Trans-sphincteric fistula
    This type of fistula develops behind the anus or in between the internal and external sphincter muscles.
  • Supra-sphincteric fistula
    They develop beside the internal and external sphincter tissues. Then they stretch up and meet the puborectalis muscle and open an inch or more away from the anus.

Fistula Symptoms

Fistula Treatments

  • Laser treatment

  • Advanced Seton Therapy
    It is a combination of traditional and modern techniques. We use different ayurvedic herbs to prepare medicated Seton (a thread or string). We tag this Seton to drain the fistula. We keep Seton inside for several days. The pus and infected tissue can flow down through the Seton. Then we remove this herbal thread without surgery and without causing any complications. We perform this entire treatment under the local anesthesia.
  • Fistulotomy
    A fistulotomy is an outpatient operational method used to treat anal fistula. The procedure requires a few minutes or an hour. In this, the doctor makes an incision in the body to open the irregular connection between the two organs.
  • Ksharsutra & Kshar Karma
    It is Ayurveda treatment first time invented by Acharya Sushrut before 5000 years. Later in this therapy is developed by Dr. Lalit Chaudhry for piles & fistula. The method is best for piles & fistula which does not have any complication and side effects, negligible recurrence. The entire process requires local anesthesia. We are expert in performing Ksharsutra.
