 [ Symptoms ] i have a newly closed anal fistula i can feel a bulge from the fluid the pressure is very uncomfortable is it healing  it is drained for a couple years now the bubble of fluid feels like i have a marble up my rear i can push on the bubble and this forces the fluid back and it is comfortable for up to an hour but then the bubble fills back up is this normal is this just it finally healing [ Disease ] there is no way for a medical provider to blindly answer that question without an examination i am sorry i would suggest that you call your medical provider    someone who knows you and your particular case    for advise in this matter anal fissures are tiny tears or cracks they do not typically have bubbles so i would be concerned about a cyst or abscess forming
