What is an Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the delicate lining of the anal canal, commonly caused by passing hard stools or excessive straining during bowel movements. It can lead to sharp or burning pain, bright red bleeding, itching, and discomfort during or after passing stool. In some cases, muscle spasms around the anal canal can make the pain more persistent. Acute fissures may heal with conservative treatment such as adequate fibre, hydration, stool management, warm sitz baths, and prescribed medicines. However, when a fissure continues for several weeks, repeatedly returns, or does not respond to conservative treatment, it may become chronic and require further medical or surgical management.
