A member asked:
Is it possible for a hard fall to cause both an anorectal abscess and an anal fistula?

Unusual: Trauma to the rectum may result in injury that would cause swelling and posinly a hematoma (blood clot) and this might become infected. In abscess would usually be the result of a penetrating injury.
