Diagnosis

Doctors usually physically examine the area surrounding the anus to ascertain the depth and direction of the fistula treatment.  The doctor may produce some discharge from the external opening. If the physical examination is not enough to locate the fistula, then other tests like Anoscopy are carried out. To determine the cause of anal fistula, the doctor may also need to ask for an MRI or ultrasound, or Fistulography as well.

Treatment of Anal Fistula


Diet for Fistula Patients

Avoid having spicy, deep-fried, and processed foods as they may lead to constipation. Having a diet rich in fibers and fluids is highly recommended to improve the symptoms of fistula. A fiber-rich diet makes the stools soft and bulky, thereby reducing the strain while bowel movements.
