What Does A Hole Around The Anus Indicate?
Hi! I m hoping to figure out what is going on. I recently discovered that there is what looks like a sizable hole on the perimeter of my anus. There is a midline in the hole that looks like a string of tissue. This is on the edge of my anus, in the direction of my vagina. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, you must be suffering from an anal fistula.
This is usually seen with long term constipation or poor bowel movements and habits.
Right now it is advisable to see doctor. In the long run, high dietary fiber, flax seeds, increasing veggies in your diet with reduced fast foods and red meat will be needed to maintain good bowel movements.
Take care,
Regards
