What is Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small rupture or a tear in the lining of the anal canal that usually occurs due to stretching or injury to the tissue. It is a disorder that can affect people of all ages and rarely has a single cause in the anal area. These fissures, although tiny, interact with the delicate tissue and hence need a long time to heal naturally. If they are not treated properly, chronic fissures may create persistent issues. Understanding the condition opens the way to consulting experienced colorectal physicians who can help with timely medical advice for proper management.
Who Needs Anal Fissure Surgery?
- Severe Pain During Bowel Movements: Persistent and intense pain during bowel movements may indicate that the fissure has become chronic or deeper. Surgery can relieve this pain effectively by repairing the tear and allowing proper healing, ensuring a significant improvement in comfort and quality of life.
- Bleeding While Passing Stool: Frequent bleeding during bowel movements can result from a fissure that fails to heal naturally. Surgical intervention helps repair the fissure, reducing blood loss, preventing complications.
- Chronic Fissures That Do Not Heal: Fissures that persist for weeks or months despite conservative measures are considered chronic. Surgery addresses the underlying tissue damage, promotes proper healing, and prevents the fissure from becoming a long-term problem affecting daily activities.
- Recurrent Fissure Episodes: Some individuals experience repeated fissures in the same area. Surgical correction reduces recurrence by strengthening the tissue and resolving any contributing factors, providing long-term relief and minimizing repeated discomfort.
- Muscle Spasms Causing Intense Discomfort: Chronic anal fissures can trigger sphincter muscle spasms, leading to severe discomfort. Surgery helps relax and repair the affected area, reducing muscle tension and improving overall healing, which results in lasting relief from pain and spasms.
