What is an Anal fistula??

An anal fistula is a tunnel connecting an infected cyst in the anus to an opening on the skin surrounding the anus. When small glands that produce mucus inside the anus get clogged and infected, it forms an abscess or cyst, explains Dr. Prosenjit Choudhury, the best fistula doctor in Kolkata. Half of these abscesses have a chance of developing into a fistula.
