Understanding Anal Fissure
An anal fissure is a small tear or cut in the lining of the anal canal. It commonly occurs due to passing hard stools, constipation, or excessive strain during bowel movements. This tear exposes sensitive nerve endings, leading to sharp pain and discomfort.
Anal fissures can affect people of all ages. While some fissures heal with simple measures, others become chronic and cause persistent pain and bleeding. Without proper treatment, an anal fissure can significantly affect daily life and bowel habits.
Why Anal Fissure Should Not Be Ignored
Many patients ignore fissure symptoms due to embarrassment or hope that the pain will resolve on its own. However, untreated fissures may worsen over time.
Persistent fissures can lead to muscle spasm, delayed healing, recurrent pain, and chronic fissure formation. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment prevent long-term suffering and complications.

What Causes Anal Fissure?
The most common cause of anal fissure is constipation and passing hard stools. Excessive straining during bowel movements increases pressure on the anal lining, leading to tearing.
Other causes include chronic diarrhea, childbirth, trauma, inflammatory bowel disease, and anal infections. In some cases, poor blood supply to the anal area also contributes to delayed healing.
Common Symptoms of Anal Fissure
The most prominent symptom of anal fissure is sharp pain during or after bowel movements. This pain may last from minutes to several hours.
Other symptoms include bright red bleeding on toilet paper, burning sensation, itching, and fear of passing stools due to pain.
