An anal fistula is the abnormal opening of the end of the rectum to the outside.

Most fistulas result from an anal abscess.

The biological purpose of the fistula is to open an alternative channel for eliminating waste, something “dirty.”

It may also represent an unacceptable situation that cannot be resolved naturally.

Anal fistulas are related to a deep emotional conflict of devaluation and identity within one’s territory.

Frequently linked to the need to “cleanse” oneself of a personal or familial “dirt” or to a painful separation.

It can be experienced as the inability to let go of someone or something perceived as toxic or dirty.

Furthermore, it is associated with feelings of being dirty, guilty, or ashamed of oneself or one’s family.

The anus is symbolically related to the individual’s “identity,” and through it, we also mark our territory.

Therefore, a fistula can reflect the feeling of not having a place of one’s own, of losing it, or of having to desperately claim it.

Similarly, the sphincter is symbolically associated with a masculine function.

Therefore, it is related to the father and can be interpreted as a way of evading the father’s orders and rules.

Consequently, if I have an anal fistula, it means that I have lived through an experience that I found dirty, painful, and disappointing, and that has caused me a great deal of anger and sadness.

Because of this, I feel deeply wounded by an offense, infamy, dishonor, or affront that I have received and that forces me to live in a state of profound bitterness.

Surely, and unconsciously, I want to preserve the “remnants” of that painful past so as not to forget it, so as not to let go of that pain, those emotions.

I am probably experiencing a strong feeling of revenge, which turns against myself through the fistula.

“It ruined my life.”

“After that, I can’t trust anyone anymore.”

“I can’t trust men, women, or life anymore.”

“I don’t know where to turn, I feel lost.” I’m likely experiencing an identity crisis.

Therefore, I need to avoid the pressure of authority that prevents me from being myself or asserting my boundaries.

If I haven’t recently experienced any of the aforementioned situations, I should examine my family history and look for instances of sodomy, incest, abuse, rape, etc.

What “dirty” or “disgusting” situation (symbolically) can’t I let go of or release?

Do I feel I must cleanse someone’s image or honor in my family?

Have I lost my place or feel my territory has been invaded?

We need to understand that every experience makes us stronger, emotionally and spiritually.

We must learn to let go, to forget the past.

For this, it is necessary that we forgive and forgive ourselves; in this way, we can continue to trust in life.
