What is Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. It can cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements.
There are two types of anal fissures: acute anal fissure and chronic anal fissure.
Acute Anal fissures are typically caused by trauma to the anal canal, such as passing a large bowel movement. It can be treated with some ointments, medications and home remedies within a few weeks.
Chronic Anal fissures are tears that persist for more than six weeks. They are often associated with underlying conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease or sexually transmitted infections. Chronic fissures are better treated with surgery.
Treatment options for anal fissures include dietary changes, topical medications, and surgery i.e. lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS) in severe cases.

How is Anal Fissure Diagnosed?
To diagnose an anal fissure, your doctor will typically begin by asking you about your symptoms and medical history. They may also perform a physical examination to check for any visible signs of a fissure, such as a small tear or crack in the skin around the anus.
In some cases, your doctor may need to perform a more detailed examination, such as an anoscopy, to get a closer look at the affected area.
During an anoscopy, a small, flexible tube with a camera on the end is inserted into the rectum to allow the doctor to examine the anus and rectum in more detail. This is an outpatient procedure and is performed in the doctor’s clinic.
In some cases, the doctor may also recommend additional tests, such as a stool sample or blood tests, to check other possible causes of your symptoms. Once the diagnosis of the anal fissure has been confirmed, the doctor may suggest the best suitable treatment plan, which may include medications, lifestyle changes, or in severe cases, surgery.

- Eating more fiber in your diet and taking fiber supplements.
Which is the best ointments/Cream For anal fissures?

When should I consult a doctor for anal fissure treatment?
If you notice an anal fissure, scheduling a doctor’s appointment is crucial as untreated fissures could become a chronic condition. Moreover, recurring anal fissures can point toward a more significant issue.
What is the best treatment For anal fissures?
The treatment for anal fissures depends on their type. For example, medications can treat an acute anal fissure; however, chronic fissures are better treated with surgical intervention like laser fissure surgery.
What are the risks of anal fissure surgery?
For the most part, anal fissure surgeries are successful, and the patient is satisfied. However, like any other surgery, there could be potential complications during the surgical process. Some of the complications and contradictions that can occur can include:
- Bleeding: Although very rare to occur, there is a possibility of hemorrhage or bleeding during the surgery of an anal fissure.
- Incontinence: Several patients report suffering from temporary incontinence immediately after the surgery. The problem is not likely to remain for more than 2-3 weeks and can remain until the patient recovers completely.
- Perianal abscess: Though the complication is not very common, some people have suffered from an abscess and also developed an anal fistula after the surgery of an anal fissure.
- Tear extending to the surrounding muscle: Damage to the anal sphincter or surrounding muscle or nerves can be due to direct thermal or mechanical trauma, and some infections develop later.
