Patient-friendly explanation
An anal fissure is a small tear that can cause severe pain and bleeding during stools. Timely care can prevent chronic spasm and repeated pain. Local patients from Jodhpur, Mahamandir and nearby areas can consult at Shri Ram Hospital for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Symptoms
- Sharp pain during or after stool
- Bright red bleeding
- Burning sensation
- Fear of passing stool
Causes
- Hard stools
- Constipation
- Repeated diarrhoea
- Anal sphincter spasm
Diagnosis
A gentle local examination is usually enough; additional tests are advised only if symptoms suggest another condition.
Treatment options
Most fissures begin with medicines, stool softeners, fibre, and sitz bath. Chronic fissures may need laser or surgical sphincter treatment.
Benefits of laser/laparoscopic surgery
- Targets chronic fissure tissue in selected cases
- Can reduce repeated trauma
- Day-care possibility for many patients
Recovery timeline
Pain usually improves gradually after treatment; bowel-softening care remains important for healing.
