What Is Fistula?
A fistula develops anywhere between an intestine and the skin, or the vagina and the rectum, making an abnormal passage, connecting two organs or vessels that do not usually connect. Although, the most common occurrence of a fistula is around the anus.
The anus is a medium through which faeces are expelled from the body. Within the anus are a number of small glands that produce mucus. Occasionally, these glands get clogged and become infected, leading to an abscess. And about half of these abscesses may develop into a fistula.
