Anal Fissure

A fissure or an anal fissure is a painful condition caused by a small cut or tear in the moist tissue lining of the anal canal. Fissures are common, and cause a lot of discomfort, but do not cause any serious problems. Although, it can occur at any age, it is more common in young infants. In most cases, fissures are confused with other anal problems, such as piles. Fissures usually occur when there is a trauma to the inner lining of the lower rectum caused by the passage of hard or large stools during a bowel movement. Some other common causes of fissures include:

Constipation

Straining while passing stool

Crohn’s disease

Chronic diarrhea

Childbirth

Anal intercourse

Treatment & Benefits

As per our laparoscopic and laser surgeon, Dr Ripudaman Singh at Medisyn Centre, Mohali in Punjab most fissures usually heal within a few weeks with certain dietary changes, such as, increasing the intake of fibers and water. Having fiber-rich foods and drinking enough water helps in softening the stools, preventing any injury while passing stools, and thereby promoting healing. However, if the conservative measures do not work then the minimally invasive treatment is preferred. In the pasthe line of treatment used to be a minimally invasive surgery called fissurectomy. In traditional fissurectomy the surgeon used make a cut for treating the fissure. However, with the advent of modern medical techniques the surgery has become no cut - no - blood surgery.
