What Is A Fistula? (Types)

A fistula is an abnormal structure resembling a tube or a passage that connects two organs that are not naturally meant to be connected

This connection could be formed between an internal organ and a body structure, two internal organs, or two points of the same organ. 

Some common examples of a fistula include:

  • Cervix and vagina
  • Bowel and vagina
  • Artery and vein
  • Colon and body surface
  • Anus and intestine

Among all these, anal fistula is the most common occurrence

Based on the nature of the fistula tube, it is of four types:

1. Blind Fistula

The passage of this fistula is open only at one end. 

2. Complete Fistula

This type of fistula opens at both ends. 

3. Horseshoe Fistula

This type of fistula is often anal, connecting the anus to the body’s surface. This often leads to the expulsion of faecal matter through an opening other than the anal passage. 

4. Incomplete Fistula

This fistula involves the formation of a tube-like structure from the skin (body surface) and projecting inwards. However, it does not connect with any internal organ. 

When To See A Doctor? 

If you notice any symptoms of a fistula, it is best to visit a doctor and get diagnosed. The symptoms of anal fistula may include soreness, pain, or discomfort around the anus, pus or blood in stools, uncontrolled bowel movement, or the appearance of a hole-like structure anywhere around the anus. Early diagnosis can help you eliminate the problem before it gets painful or complicated. 

At Handa Hospital, we run you through a quick and precise diagnosis and help you in getting rid of the problem in a simple and effective manner. 

Causes Of Fistula 

A fistula can be formed from a number of triggers. Some common causes of fistula include:

  • Physical trauma/injury
  • Post-surgical complication
  • Inflammatory diseases like Crohn’s disease
  • Untreated or unhealed sites of an infection
  • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) 
  • Diverticulitis (inflammation in the small pouches present in the colon) 
  • Tuberculosis
  • Radiation (during cancer treatment, etc.) 
  • Cancer

Risk Factors For Fistula

The common risk factors that could lead to the formation of a fistula include:

  • Physical trauma to the anal region
  • Untreated or improperly treated infection or inflammation
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease
  • History of diverticulitis
  • Previously untreated or improperly drained anal abscess
  • Radiation therapy
  • Surgery around the anal region

Complications Of Fistula 

Some common complications associated with fistula include:

  • Incontinence: You may lose control over urinary or faecal expulsion. This could happen sometimes, or regularly, based on the location and severity of the fistula. 
  • Improper Bowel Movement: Fistula may lead to difficulty in bowel movement. In some cases, the stool may get expelled from another opening of the fistula. 
  • Pain and Discomfort: Based on its location, a fistula may cause pain or discomfort when sitting, walking, laying down, or passing stool. 

Prevention Of Fistula

While the formation of a fistula can be unpredictable, you may lower the chances of having it in the following ways:

  • In case of an injury, get checked to ensure there is no internal damage. If left untreated, such cases can lead to fistula formation. 
  • If you experience infection or inflammation, see a doctor and make sure it is treated and healed properly. 
  • Get appropriate treatment for diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or any such condition and ensure it is healed and completely eradicated. 
  • Engage in protected intercourse to prevent the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that could lead to a fistula formation.
