Anal Fistula Hospital in Bangalore

An anal fistula is an abnormal tunnel-like connection between the inside of the anus and the skin around the anus. It is often the result of an infection in an anal gland that didn’t heal properly. In Ayurveda, it is referred to as “Bhagandara,” which is known for causing discomfort, pain, and discharge. It can be a recurring condition if not managed properly.
