An anal fistula is an abnormal channel between an infected part of the anal canal and perianal skin. Normally, there are various glands around the anal opening that secrete mucus and help the stool passage. However, if these openings get infected or clogged, they can form an abscess. If the abscess is left untreated or is not properly managed, it can develop into a fistula.
