An anal fistula is a tunnel that runs from the anal opening and connects the skin around it. An anal fistula mainly forms after an infection that did not heal correctly. In human anatomy, the external opening through which feces are expelled is known as the anus. Numerous small glands that make mucus are located inside the anus. When these glands get blocked and infected due to dirt and debris, it can lead to the formation of an abscess. Most of these abscesses turn into an anal fistula. When the abscesses that form near and around the anal mucosal tissues are not treated, it tends to keep growing and worsening over time. Eventually, the abscess punches out like a hole making its way outside the skin.
