What is fistula? Is fistula dangerous?

It is two parts that connect together .It can cause different problems also an abcess.There are several types of fistulas.

A fistula is a pore which secretes a liquid which gets blocked. They can be found in a number of places, but they are common around the anus.

If it gets blocked, swelling can occur because the duct which produces the liquid continues to work, even though there is no place for that liquid to go.

If caught in time, once can have a physician lance and drain it. If it goes too far, the fistula may have to be removed surgically, which is not a fun situation to have to go through.

If you are asking because you have been told you may have one, get your doctor to take care of it as soon as possible. Better a bit of embarrassment than to have to go into the hospital with a general anesthetic and a long visit.
