What is an Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the thin, moist lining of the anus. This condition often occurs due to passing hard or large stools and is associated with pain and bleeding during bowel movements.
Types of Anal Fissures
- Acute Anal Fissure: Short-term and heals within a few weeks with proper care.
- Chronic Anal Fissure: Long-lasting, deeper tears that may require advanced treatments such as surgery.
Causes of Anal Fissure
- Straining during bowel movements.
- Diarrhea or frequent bowel movements.
- Childbirth (common in women).
- Anal trauma or injury.
- Conditions like Crohn’s disease or other inflammatory bowel diseases.
Symptoms of Anal Fissure
- Bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper.
- Itching or irritation around the anus.
- A visible tear or crack near the anal opening.
- Muscle spasms in the anal region.
Diagnosis of an Anal Fissure
- Physical Examination: The doctor visually inspects the anal region for tears.
- Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): Gently checks the area for tenderness and severity.
- Additional Tests: For chronic cases, colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy may be done to rule out underlying conditions like Crohn’s disease.
Advanced Treatment Options for Anal Fissures
Non-Surgical Treatment for Anal Fissures

Creams like nitroglycerin, diltiazem, or nifedipine to relax the anal sphincter and increase blood flow.

Reduce strain during bowel movements, helping fissures heal naturally.
- Sitz Baths
Warm water baths several times a day to relieve pain and promote healing.
