Anal Fissure Treatment – Dr. K. K. Trehan

An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the lining of the anus that can cause pain and discomfort during bowel movements. Dr. K. K. Trehan provides effective and advanced treatment options to relieve symptoms and promote healing.

What is an Anal Fissure?

An anal fissure is a break in the skin of the anal canal, often caused by trauma during bowel movements. It can lead to irritation, pain, and bleeding, especially while passing stools.

Symptoms of Anal Fissure

Common symptoms include sharp pain in the anal area during or after bowel movements, visible tears in the skin, small skin tags near the fissure, and streaks of blood on stools or toilet paper.

Causes of Anal Fissure

Anal fissures can occur due to chronic diarrhea, constipation, or straining during bowel movements. Other contributing factors include reduced blood flow to the anorectal area and tight or spastic anal sphincter muscles.

Treatment Options

Treatment often begins with non-surgical methods such as increasing fiber intake, using stool softeners, and taking warm sitz baths to relax the muscles and improve blood flow. Medications like topical ointments may also help in healing. In cases where symptoms persist, a surgical procedure called lateral sphincterotomy may be recommended to relieve pressure and promote healing.
