Anal Fissure Treatment
An anal fissure is a small tear in the delicate, moist tissue lining the anus. It often happens when passing hard or large stools during a bowel movement. Symptoms typically include pain and bleeding during bowel movements, along with spasms in the anal sphincter muscle.
While anal fissures are common in infants, they can affect individuals of any age. In many cases, they improve with simple treatments like increasing fiber intake or taking sitz baths. However, some people may require medication or, in rare instances, surgery to address anal fissures.
Symptoms
Symptoms of an anal fissure may include:
- Pain, often intense, during bowel movements
- Pain following bowel movements, which may persist for several hours
- Bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper after passing stool
- Visible tear or crack in the skin around the anus
- Small lump or skin tag near the anal fissure
When to access Medical Care
The location of the fissure can provide insight into its underlying cause. A fissure situated on the side of the anal opening, rather than the back or front, may indicate an associated disorder, such as Crohn’s disease, rather than being solely attributed to typical causes like constipation or trauma.
Determinants of risk
Factors that can elevate the risk of developing an anal fissure include:
- Constipation: Straining during bowel movements and passing hard stools can increase the likelihood of tearing in the anal lining.
- Childbirth: Women may be more prone to anal fissures after giving birth.
- Crohn’s disease: This inflammatory bowel disease can lead to chronic inflammation in the intestinal tract, potentially rendering the lining of the anal canal more susceptible to tears.
- Anal intercourse.
- Age: While anal fissures can occur at any age, they are more prevalent in infants and middle-aged adults.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
