Fissures

Fissure in ano with anal spasm

Anal fissures are small tears or cuts in the lining of the anus, causing severe pain, discomfort, and bleeding during and after bowel movements. They are often mistaken for hemorrhoids but are distinct conditions requiring specific treatment approaches. At Panacea Clinic, we provide advanced, compassionate care to effectively treat and manage anal fissures.

Causes and Symptoms

  • Chronic constipation : Frequent difficulty in passing stools, leading to strain on the anal canal.

  • Passing large or hard stools : Straining to expel large or hardened stool, causing pressure on the anal tissues.

  • Straining during bowel movements : Forceful pushing during defecation, potentially causing tears in the anal skin.

  • Persistent diarrhea : Frequent loose stools can irritate the anus and contribute to anal fissures.

  • Childbirth : Delivery can stretch and tear the anal canal, predisposing to anal fissures.

  • Anal intercourse : Friction during anal sex may lead to tears in the anal lining.

  • Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease : Conditions that cause chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, increasing the risk of anal fissures.

Symptoms:

  • Sharp, burning pain during bowel movements : Intense discomfort experienced during defecation due to anal fissures.

  • Pain that persists for hours after bowel movements : Lingering discomfort in the anal area following defecation.

  • Visible tear or crack in the skin around the anus : Easily identifiable break in the skin near the anal opening.

  • Small amounts of blood on toilet paper or in the stool : Bloodstains on toilet paper or in the stool due to minor bleeding from anal fissures.

  • Itching or irritation around the anus : Persistent itching or discomfort in the anal region, often accompanied by redness.
