 Anal Fissure: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

Facts on Anal Fissure

  • There are chances of fissure recurring even after using home remedies. Proper medical treatment is necessary to get rid of it.
  • Pregnant women have a higher probability of getting an anal fissure in their later pregnancy and during childbirth.
  • STDs such as Syphilis, HIV, HPV, and herpes are the infections that are associated with a higher risk of having anal fissures.
  • If a fissure is left untreated for a long time, it has the potential to turn into hemorrhoids.

Signs and symptoms of an anal fissure

  • Severely painful bowel movements
  •  Feeling of full bowel even after passing of stools many times
  •  Bloodstained stools or blood on the toilet paper after the bowel movement 
  •  A visible cut or tear in the skin of the anus
  •  Forming of a lump (skin tag) near the anal fissure

Diagnosis of Anal Fissure

The doctor will physically examine the anus to understand the cause of the fissure depending upon its location. If a fissure lasts for more than 8 weeks, it is called chronic fissure which can turn severe with time.
The doctor can also ask to get the flexible sigmoidoscopy done, a thin tube is inserted in the bottom part of the colon in this procedure. This test is performed when the patient is younger than 50 and has no chances of colon cancer.

Surgical Procedure- Laser Treatment for Anal Fissure

All the medicines, creams, and even traditional procedures may fail to permanently cure anal fissure treatment. Sometimes, the condition gets serious because of the usage of unprescribed medications by the patient. It is necessary to consult a specialist doctor before using any ointment or popping in any tablet. Old traditional surgery for fissure is obviously dreaded by the patients because of the complexity and pain involved in the process which does not allow the person to heal soon effectively.
