A Year Of Recurring
Discharge & Discomfort

The patient, a man in his mid-thirties, had an anal abscess drained at another facility over a year earlier. What followed was a pattern many fistula patients recognise: persistent discharge, occasional swelling, and discomfort that would settle for a few weeks and then flare up again without warning.

By the time he consulted Dr. Krishna Pada Saha, the recurring cycle had started to affect his confidence and daily routine. A clinical examination together with MRI fistulogram mapping identified a trans-sphincteric tract connecting the anal canal to the skin — the underlying reason the earlier drainage alone had not resolved things permanently.
