In most cases, doctors first try to treat an anal fissure with medicines, dietary changes, increased water intake, stool softeners, and warm sitz baths. Many acute fissures heal with these conservative treatments and do not require surgery.
However, if the fissure is chronic, keeps recurring, or does not improve despite proper treatment, a surgeon may recommend a procedure for long term relief. A proper examination helps determine the severity of the fissure and the most suitable treatment option.
