A fistula is an abnormal connection between two body parts. Typically, these are structures that would not normally be joined, such as organs or blood vessels. Fistulas can result from various factors including infection, injury, surgery, or underlying medical conditions.
Symptoms associated with fistulas can include pain, swelling, and drainage. Prompt medical evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Treatment options may involve medication, surgery, or other therapeutic interventions.
