Symptoms
Pus or watery discharge, small opening near anus, recurrent swelling, pain and bad smell can indicate fistula.
Common Causes
Usually develops after anal infection or abscess and may recur if the tract is not managed properly.
Do's
- Keep the area clean
- Consult for tract evaluation
- Share previous surgery history
- Follow dressing advice
Don'ts
- Do not squeeze swelling
- Do not delay recurrent pus
- Avoid unplanned medicines
- Do not hide symptoms
Prevention
- Do not ignore painful swelling near the anus.
- Get repeated pus or wetness checked instead of only wiping it away.
- Share old abscess, surgery or drainage history clearly with the doctor.
When to visit doctor
Visit if discharge keeps returning, underwear gets wet, a small opening is seen, or swelling comes back after medicines.
Patient FAQs
Why does pus keep coming again?
A hidden tract may remain inside. It needs proper assessment, not just repeated wiping or tablets.
Is it embarrassing to discuss?
No. These symptoms are common in clinic practice, and privacy-focused consultation helps patients speak comfortably.
