An anal fistula, also known as a fistula-in-ano, is a tunnel that forms between the anus' interior and its outer skin. The muscle aperture where stool leaves the body at the end of the digestive system is called the anus.
An infection that develops in the anal gland is what leads to the majority of anal fistulas.
