Sarathi Hospital provides fistula treatment in Ahmedabad under the care of Dr. Raj Patel, M.S. Surgeon. We evaluate the fistula tract, identify its complexity, and plan treatment according to its location and involvement with the anal sphincter.
If you have recurrent pus discharge, swelling, pain or a wound near the anus that does not heal, a proper surgical evaluation can help identify the cause.
Most patients notice it after an abscess that seemed to heal but kept leaking on and off.
An anal fistula is a small tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin near the anus. Most patients come to us after an abscess that seemed to heal but kept leaking – that leftover tract is usually the fistula. It won't close on its own, no matter how much time passes, which is why patients end up looking for a fistula treatment specialist in Ahmedabad instead of waiting it out.
Most patients describe the same handful of things – pain and swelling near the anus that gets worse when sitting, some discharge (pus, blood, or a foul smell) from a small opening in the skin, and skin irritation that flares up in the same spot again and again. Sometimes there's fever if an abscess is active underneath, and in long-standing cases, occasional trouble controlling bowel movements.
If any of this has continued for more than 2–3 weeks, it's genuinely worth seeing a fistula treatment specialist in Ahmedabad – an anal fistula does not close on its own, no matter how long you wait.
Accurate diagnosis is what decides which surgery will actually work – here's how Dr. Raj Patel approaches it.
Most fistulas can initially be assessed through a detailed history and physical examination. The surgeon looks for the external opening, discharge, tenderness, and signs of a previous abscess.
The important part is understanding where the tract travels and whether it passes through the anal sphincter. A simple fistula can often be assessed on clinical examination alone. A deep, recurrent, branching, or complex fistula may need an MRI or another investigation to map the tract before surgery.
