What is a Fistula?

A fistula is an abnormal connection formed between two parts of the body such as organs or blood vessels. Fistulas can occur in the digestive system, urinary tract or genital area as a result of injuries, infections, or surgeries. It causes symptoms like pain, inflammation, skin irritation, bowel or bladder dysfunction, etc. While it might seem daunting, medical advances these days ensure that most fistulas can be effectively treated and managed on time.

If you are experiencing swelling, redness, inflammation or bowel and bladder dysfunction, book your appointment with gastroenterologists at CMRI Hospital in Kolkata to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment solutions that are suitable for your condition. 

Symptoms of Fistulas

The symptoms of fistulas often depend on their location and the organs involved. However, some common symptoms include: 

  • Pain: Pain at the fistula site is common and may cause uneasiness or severe discomfort in daily life.
  • Inflammation: Swelling and redness around the fistula opening is generally accompanied by inflammation. 
  • Discharge: Abnormal discharge of fluid, pus, or faeces through the skin or from an internal organ.
