Anal fistula
Is a small channel that can develop between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. An anal fistula can cause bleeding and discharge when passing stools - and can be painful. An anal fistula can occur after surgery to drain an anal abscess.
Symptoms:
- Recurrent anal abscesses
- Pain and swelling around the anus
- Pain with bowel movements
- Bleeding
- Bloody or foul-smelling drainage (pus) from an opening around the anus. The pain may decrease after the fistula drains.
- Irritation of the skin around the anus due to persistent drainage
- Fever, chills, and a general feeling of fatigue. (However, these may be symptoms of many conditions.)
Preliminary plan:
- Surgeon appointment
- Coloproctologist appointment

- Urinalysis
- Rectoscopy

- Digital rectal examination
