Anal Fissure

What is an anal fissure?

An anal fissure is a tear along the anal canal. It can cause a considerable amount of pain when one has a bowel movement. Some causes of anal fissures include constipation and anal instrumentation.

Symptoms of anal fissure:

  • Anal pain
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Anal swelling

How is an anal fissure diagnosed?

An anal fissure can often mimic anal disease. You will need a physical examination by a performance to determine if you have anal tissue.

How is it treated?

A fissure is initially treated with medications, cream, sitz baths, and a high-fiber diet. If the fissure fails to heal despite this, surgery may be required. Our surgeons are experienced in the medical and surgical management of anal fissures.
