An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, causing pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements. Commonly resulting from constipation, hard stools, or straining, it can be acute or chronic. Treatment includes dietary changes, topical medications, and, in severe cases, minor surgical intervention for healing
Anal fissures are classified as acute or chronic, based on symptom duration. They cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements, requiring medical evaluation and treatment
Surgery for anal fissures is considered when chronic pain, bleeding, or recurrence persists despite medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications, significantly affecting the patient’s comfort and quality of life
Anal fissure surgery is often required to treat chronic tears, relieve pain, promote healing, and prevent recurrent complications
Anal fissure surgery, often a lateral sphincterotomy, relieves muscle spasms, promotes healing, and reduces pain when non-surgical treatments fail to resolve symptoms
Surgery is needed for chronic fissures, severe pain, frequent recurrence, or complications like infection, when dietary changes and medications are ineffective
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon. Risks exist but are minimal, and modern techniques ensure faster recovery and long-term symptom relief
Most patients recover within two to four weeks. Pain improves quickly, but following proper hygiene, diet, and medical advice ensures smooth healing
Recurrence is rare with proper post-surgical care. Following dietary advice, hydration, and regular bowel habits greatly reduces the risk of fissure returning
