Fistula Doctor in Shamli
Are you looking for a fistula doctor in Shamli? Calcutta Poly Clinic offers care for anal fistula (भगंदर, bhagandar) for patients from Shamli and nearby areas. A fistula can cause repeated pain, swelling and discharge near the anus, and it usually does not go away without proper treatment. Our doctors examine you carefully, explain your condition in simple words and guide you towards the right treatment.
Every patient’s condition is different, so the treatment plan is made after a proper examination and discussion of your symptoms and medical history. The aim is to give you relief and to reduce the chance of the problem coming back.
What Is an Anal Fistula (भगंदर)?
An anal fistula is a small abnormal tunnel that forms between the inside of the anal canal and the skin around the anus. It most often develops after an infection or abscess (a painful collection of pus) in one of the small glands near the anus. The tunnel can keep discharging pus or fluid and may get infected again and again, which is why many people have repeated boils near the anus.
Common Symptoms of Fistula
You may notice one or more of the following signs:
- Pain, redness or swelling near the anus, which may get worse while sitting or passing stool
- A small opening on the skin near the anus with pus, blood or foul-smelling discharge
- Repeated boils or abscess in the same area
- Itching and irritation of the skin around the anus
- Fever or feeling unwell when there is an active infection
What Causes a Fistula?
- An anal abscess or infection of the anal glands (the most common cause)
- Inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease
- Earlier surgery or injury in the anal area
- Some infections and long-standing constipation or diarrhoea
- Weak immunity or other health conditions in some patients
When Should You See a Doctor?
A fistula rarely heals on its own, and delay can lead to repeated abscesses and more complex problems. Please see a doctor if you have a boil near the anus that keeps coming back, discharge from an opening near the anus, or pain and swelling in the area. Seek urgent medical help if you have severe pain, high fever or a rapidly increasing swelling, as this may be an abscess that needs prompt attention.
How We Approach Fistula Treatment
Treatment depends on the position and type of the fistula, so a proper examination comes first:
- Detailed examination and discussion of your symptoms and history
- Tests such as imaging, only if the doctor feels they are needed to understand the fistula
- Medicines to control infection, pain and discomfort when required
- Suitable treatment or procedure, depending on the type of fistula, explained to you beforehand
- Guidance on wound care, diet and hygiene during recovery
- Follow-up visits to check healing
Simple Care Tips
- Keep the anal area clean and dry, and wash gently after passing stool
- Warm water sitting baths can help ease pain and discomfort
- Eat fibre-rich food and drink enough water to avoid constipation and straining
- Do not squeeze or treat boils near the anus on your own

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between piles and fistula?
Piles are swollen veins in or around the anus, while a fistula is an abnormal tunnel between the anal canal and the skin, usually after an infection or abscess. The symptoms can look similar, so a proper examination is important.
Can a fistula heal on its own?
Usually not. A fistula may seem to settle for some time, but it often comes back with repeated discharge or abscess. It is better to get it examined and treated properly.
Is fistula a serious condition?
It is not usually life-threatening, but if left untreated it can cause repeated infection, pain and a more complex problem. Early consultation makes treatment simpler.
Is fistula treatment painful?
The doctor will explain the treatment beforehand and manage pain and discomfort. Recovery time depends on the type of fistula and the treatment advised.
