Colorectal Fistula

Colorectal Fistula

Colorectal fistula is a medical condition in which there is an abnormal connection, or fistula, between two parts of the large intestine. A fistula can occur due to various causes and can lead to a number of complications. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of colorectal fistula and seek medical care if necessary. The most common cause of colorectal fistula is inflammation of the lining of the large intestine. This can be due to infection, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, or cancer. Certain medications and radiation therapy may also increase the risk of developing a fistula. The most common symptom of colorectal fistula is drainage from the rectum or anus. This may be accompanied by pain, itching, swelling, or bleeding. There may also be abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. Other symptoms can include fever, chills, and loss of appetite. Diagnosis of colorectal fistula is made through physical examination and imaging tests such as x-ray, CT scan, MRI scan, or ultrasound. Blood tests may also be needed to check for infection or inflammation. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to repair the fistula and prevent further complications. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to treat any infection that may be present. Colorectal fistula can be a serious condition if left untreated and can lead to serious complications such as abscesses, sepsis, peritonitis, and even death. It is important to seek medical care as soon as possible if you experience any symptoms of this condition. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of serious complications and allow for a better outcome.
