What is Anal Fissure Treatment?
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal, typically causing sharp pain during and after passing stool, often with bright red bleeding. The pain causes the sphincter to spasm, which reduces blood flow and stops the tear healing — a cycle that sustains itself.
Most acute fissures settle with fibre, fluids, stool softeners and medication. Chronic fissures that resist treatment need a procedure to break the spasm cycle and allow healing.
- Rapid relief from severe pain on defecation
- Conservative treatment tried first wherever possible
- Day-care procedure when surgery is required
- Addresses the spasm that prevents healing
- Dietary guidance to prevent recurrence
Who Is It For?
- Patients with sharp pain on passing stool
- People with a fissure that has not healed in weeks
