A neglected anal fistula can lead to multiple tracks and recurrent infections.
Early treatment prevents long-term complications.
Thrombosis Treatment
What is Thrombosis?
Perianal thrombosis, also known as thrombosed piles, occurs when a blood clot forms in an external hemorrhoid, leading to sudden pain and swelling near the anus.
