[|Human|] This is a bit embarrassing to say, but i recently found a small hole-like opening in the crack of my butt the other day. it doesnt hurt, but it bleeds about once a day with a watery-blood type substance. i am sure this isnt normal, but i was wondering if i should see a doctor for this. by the way i did some research on my own and it seems to be something called a fistula. i am a little worried it could get infected.
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Yes, it can be fistula, or it can be sinus. But it can only be known once the clinical examination done. I advise you to visit the nearby surgeon which will guide you regarding the type of channel you have. I advise you to please take the surgery done because surgery is the only treatment option available. If the surgery is taken delayed, there is chance of infection. As the anal area is potentially dirty area there is chance of infection by the bacteria from the intestine. Please maintain the hygiene as it can prevent you from getting infect ion until you visit the nearby surgeon. You can do it with frequent washing and Chat Doctor. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
