Expert Fistula Treatment by Leading Proctology Specialist in Bathinda

An anal fistula is a painful and persistent condition that requires expert surgical treatment. If you are searching for the best fistula treatment in Bathinda, Dr. Raman Garg provides advanced surgical solutions with high success rates and quick recovery.

A fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting the anal canal to the skin near the anus. It usually develops after an anal abscess and causes persistent drainage, pain, and discomfort. Surgery is the only permanent cure for anal fistula.

Symptoms of Anal Fistula

  • Constant throbbing pain around the anus
  • Discharge of pus or blood from an opening near the anus
  • Skin irritation and itching around the anus
  • Swelling and redness around the anus
  • Fever and chills (if abscess forms)
  • Pain during bowel movements
  • Recurrent anal abscesses
  • Foul-smelling drainage

Causes of Anal Fistula

Most anal fistulas develop as a result of an anal abscess that didn't heal properly. Other causes include Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, trauma, surgery, and infections. When an abscess drains but the tunnel doesn't close, a fistula forms.

Certain conditions like diabetes, immune suppression, and inflammatory bowel disease increase the risk of developing fistulas.

The best surgery depends on the type and complexity of the fistula. Dr. Raman Garg evaluates each case and recommends the most appropriate technique — fistulotomy, seton, LIFT, or laser closure.

Recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity. Following post-operative care instructions including sitz baths and wound care is essential.
