Fissure
Understanding Fissure
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard or large stools. Fissures can cause pain and bleeding during bowel movements and may become chronic if not treated properly. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to relieve symptoms and promote healing.
Common Causes of Fissure
- Constipation: Passing hard stools can cause a tear.
- Chronic Diarrhea: Frequent bowel movements can irritate the anal lining.
- Straining During Bowel Movements: Puts extra pressure on the anal region.
- Childbirth: Trauma to the perineum during delivery.
Symptoms of Fissure
- Sharp pain during bowel movements
- Bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper
- Itching or irritation around the anus
- A visible tear in the skin around the anus
- A small lump or skin tag near the fissure
