Anal Fistula treatment in Aguascalientes

An anal fistula is a small abnormal tunnel that connects the inside of the anal canal with the skin near the anus, and it usually develops after an abscess that did not heal completely. It is an uncomfortable but well-understood condition in the field of proctology.

Common symptoms: Discharge of pus or fluid, pain or discomfort around the anus, redness of the skin, and, at times, repeated episodes of inflammation.

When to see a doctor: If you notice a draining opening, persistent pain in the anal area, or recurring abscesses, it's a good idea to have it checked.

Which specialist treats it? The colorectal surgeon or proctologist is the one who evaluates this condition, and in some cases the general surgeon is involved. Having an anal fistula assessed by a professional helps you understand its origin and the options available for your situation.
