What is a fistula?
A
fistula is a small tunnel or tract that connects one surface in the body to
another. Fistulas can occur at different places in the body. When one occurs
between the internal anal canal and the exterior skin of the body near the
anus, it is called anal fistula. When one occurs between the rectum and the
vagina, it is called a recto-vaginal fistula.
Causes an anal fistula?
- An
anal fistula is usually caused by an anal abscess, an infection-filled
cavity occurring in the underlying tissues of the anal canal. When an
abscess bursts or is opened, and the pus or fluid drains from it, an anal
fistula is often formed. It then remains open, even after the abscess has
healed.
- If
you have an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as diverticulitis,
colitis, you are more likely to develop an anal abscess and fistula.
Individuals with diseases that reduce the body immunity such as AIDS or
cancer are also at a higher risk.
Abscess or anal fistula
Many
anal abscesses do not result in anal fistulas. In fact, a fistula develops in
only about half of all anal abscess cases.
Causes a recto-vaginal fistula
Most
recto-vaginal fistulas result from an injury to the perineum (the area of
tissue between the vagina and the rectum) during childbirth. However, they can
also be caused by radiation treatment, inflammatory bowel diseases or vaginal
or rectal surgeries.
Symptoms of an anal fistula
- Ongoing
pain,
- Swelling
and tenderness are symptoms of both anal abscess and fistulas.
- Drainage
of pus and fluid from the abscess, which can cause irritation and itching
in the skin around the anus.
- Other
symptoms include fever, chills, fatigue or weakness.
What are the symptoms of a recto-vaginal fistula?
- The
most common symptom of a recto-vaginal fistula is
- Passage
of bowel contents (gas and/or stool) through the vagina.
- Inflammation
of the vagina, which results in burning, itching and discharge
- Inflammation
of the bladder, which causes frequent and sometimes painful urination.
