Anal fistula: Probably this is an abnormal connection from your rectum, called an anal fistula. Usually this is a complication from an internal infection or inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel disease -- which can cause abdominal pain. You need to be seen right away. When she knows these details, probably your doctor will see you; or go to an urgent care clinic. Good luck.
