Anal fistulas originate from an infection or abscess in the anal area. Delaying treatment can allow the infection to worsen, potentially leading to the formation of larger and more complex abscesses. Fistula drainage becomes a hectic process
Untreated anal fistulas can cause chronic pain, discomfort, and irritation in the anal region. These symptoms can significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
Over time, anal fistulas can become more complicated and may extend to nearby structures, such as the sphincter muscles. Complex fistulas are often more challenging to treat and may require more extensive surgical procedures.
Fistulas can affect the normal functioning of the anal sphincter muscles, potentially leading to issues with bowel control, faecal incontinence, or altered bowel habits.
In severe cases, untreated anal fistulas can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to a systemic infection, which can be life-threatening.
