Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hello,

You have anal fistula and the fistula tract has been traced with external and internal opening between external and internal anal sphincter.

Simple inter-sphincteric fistulas can often be treated by fistulotomy (opening the fistulous tract), curettage, and healing by secondary intention.

While the majority of fistulas are cryptoglandular in origin, trauma, Crohn's disease, malignancy, radiation, or unusual infections (tuberculosis, actinomycosis, and chlamydia) may also produce fistulas.

A complex, recurrent, or non-healing fistula should raise the suspicion of one of these diagnoses.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
