Hello. Welcome to hcm
Fistula is an abnormal communication between your intestine and outside. It can be caused due to infection and abscess or chronic disease like ulcerative colitis.
I advice you to see surgeon immediately who wil first drain the abscess and put you on antibiotics. Once it heals, he will excise the tract. Fistula is not a serious condition but if neglected can cause various problems.
All the best
