About Fissure

Fissure is a crack around the anal region. It typically causes severe pain and bleeding during bowel movements. The reason for fissure is trauma inside the inner lining of the anus. A hard bowel is responsible for fissure but chronic diarrhea can also be the cause. Do not leave it untreated. Delay in diagnosis may lead to an acute fissure becoming a chronic one and become more difficult to treat. If anal fissure is not diagnosed, it may also allow other conditions to go undetected and untreated, such as serious infections or even cancer.

    Advanced Daycare Procedure for Anal Fissure

    When the mucosal lining of the anal passage tears up, an anal fissure is formed. The tissue around the anal canal is soft and delicate. So, when you pass a hard stool, it experiences strain and often gets cut. Anal fissures are classified into two categories, the first one is acute and the other is chronic. In the acute stage, a fissure usually lasts less than 15 days. But in chronic stage, the fissure can be long-standing and may expand to a duration of more than 2 months accompanied by other anorectal disorders like piles or fistula.

    Surgery is usually needed when fissure reaches the chronic stage and the pain becomes unbearable. Pristyn Care provides treatment for anal fissure in Chennai through the most advanced laser technique. You can contact a nearby Pristyn Care Clinic for best-in-class daycare procedures.

    Cure Anal Fissure Permanently with Laser Treatment

    Treating anal fissure before the condition becomes worse is crucial. Though fissures are not life-threatening, they affect our day-to-day life to a great extent. A person suffering from fissure has to tolerate pain and discomfort while sitting, walking, and during all physical activities. Moreover, fissures are extremely painful during bowels. If anal fissures are left untreated, there can be other complications too including sentinel pile, recurrence, and tears in the internal anal sphincter.

    Instead of ignoring the symptoms and hoping that fissures will go away on their own, it’s better that you take action and contact Pristyn Care specialists to cure fissures permanently. The primary reason why fissures become a chronic issue is because that they don’t heal properly. With laser surgery, this can be fixed. The doctors will remove the damaged tissues and allow the skin to heal completely. This will reduce the pain and pressure on the anal passage to promote the healing process. Within two weeks, the fissure will heal 100% and you will be able to live a comfortable life once more.

    What is the difference between anal fissure and anal fistula?

    Anal fissure and anal fistula are two very common anorectal diseases. An anal fissure is a condition where an tear or a crack appearns in the skin near the anus. On the other hand, anal fistulas are tube-like passages that appears in the anal canal or the inner rectum. Most anal fissures are like paper cuts and ususally get healed within a few weeks. If left untreated, both anal fissure and anal fistula can develop into worse conditions. Untreated fistulas can even branch off into multiple openings.

    The symptoms exhibited by both conditions are very similar to each other. Pain in the anal area, discomfort while seating at the toilet seat and pain while passing a bowel movement, and blood in stools are some of the common symptoms for both anal fissure and anal fistula. But anal fistulas may also include pus secretion from the anal area, an extra opening near the anus or an increase in diarrhea.

    Although different in nature, both conditions require medical intervention. An anal fissure or anal fistula can be treated by a proctologist or an anorectal/ colorectal surgeon. At initial stages, both the diseases can be managed with medicines. But to treat the condition permanently, one would require a surgical approach, which can be done either through open surgery or laser surgery.
