Gall Bladder stones (cholelithiasis) won’t necessarily cause any problems for you. Many individual have them and never know it. But gallstones can become dangerous if they start to travel through biliary tract and get stuck somewhere. They can clog up biliary tract, causing pain and serious complications.
The problem with gallstones is that they grow — slowly, but surely — as bile continues to wash over them and leave another layer of sediment. What begins as a sand grain can grow big enough to stop the flow of bile, especially if it gets into a narrow space, like a bile duct or the neck of your gallbladder.

Fistula
Fistula is a condition affecting the anal region. The anal glands present in the middle portion of the anus may get infected, leading to an anal abscess. This may cause pus to start oozing out and create a passage, called a fistula, to the infected gland; a fistula has been associated with being overweight and sitting for a prolonged duration of time. There can be pain, swelling, redness, and release of pus.
Causes of Fistula
Anal fistulas are caused by a blockage in the passage of fluids in the fluid glands in the anus causing to the creation of pus-filled abscesses. Such blockage leads to the bacterial growth that create pockets in the abscesses. If left untreated, these abscesses may grow and push out anus to drain the pus. In most cases, these abscesses become fistulas.
Anal fistulas may also be caused due to diseases such as tuberculosis and due to certain sexually transmitted diseases.
