Anal fistulas are formed as a reaction to an anal gland with a pus-filled infection (anal abscesses). They can occur if the abscess does not heal properly after the pus has drained away on its own.<\/p><p>A small number of fistulas may be caused by other conditions such as Crohn\u2019s disease, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, diverticulitis, cancer, or surgery near the anus.

This helps to prevent the formation of large, hard, or dry stools, which may lead to an anal fissure. Simultaneously, consuming sufficient fibre will help your stools soften while promoting more frequent bowel movements.<\/p><p>Staying hydrated and drinking sufficient water is another key that may help prevent constipation. By adding enough fluid to your system, it makes stools softer and easier to pass.<\/p><p>A lack of physical activity is one of the most common causes of constipation. Keeping active may help ensure that your digestive system is kept in reasonable condition while promoting bowel movement.<\/p><p>Holding your bowels in when it is time to pass may lead to harder stools. As stools get dryer and harder with time, they get tougher to pass if held in the body for too long.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/main>\n\t\t\t\t<main class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ed694f5 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ed694f5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3e95465\" data-id=\"3e95465\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fd6b69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9fd6b69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Are Anal Fistulas Diagnosed?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27f11ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"27f11ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our doctor will perform a physical and rectal examination for you to check for signs of an anal fistula.
