What is “ Anal Fissure “ ?

Chronic anal fissure is the term used by most physicians, to describe a condition characterized by the patient developing a cut in the anal skin (usually following a constipation or hard stool bowel movement), this causes pain that feels like burning during or shortly after defecation and can last for several hours, it is associated at times with itching, uncomfortable feeling while sitting and/or some blood on toilet papers upon wiping.
Symptoms of Anal Fissure :

- Itching or irritation in the anal region.

Complications of Anal Fissure
Left untreated, an anal fissure can lead to several complications:
- A sentinel pile (skin tag) may grow around the fissure. This can become large, noticeable, and interfere with hygiene.

- The body may attempt to heal the fissure by forming a tunnel under the skin, resulting in a fistula, which can lead to infection and abscess formation.
What should I do if I have an Anal Fissure ?
Most anal fissure cases, when caught early enough, i.e., during the first six weeks of their occurrence can be aborted with simple topical treatment and measures or one single tiny Botulinum injection administered by the Doctor in the anal Internal Sphincter muscle ( No, it’s not painful, because we numb the skin first ).
