Anal Fissure Treatment in Jammu - Laser Surgery

What is the need for anal fissure treatment?

An anal fissure is a crack or tear around the anal region. It causes immense pain and sometimes bleeds. The usual healing period for fissures is 6 weeks. Most people who have fissures firstly try conservative treatment, natural remedies, and lifestyle changes. In most cases, these methods are effective, but for some people, they don’t provide expected results. But fearing that they might have to undergo surgery, people continue trying these ineffective methods that result in chronic fissures.

If fissures reach the chronic stage, they can increase the risk of sentinel pile, anal stenosis, and anal fistula. When anal fissures are not treated for a long time, they can also cause significant damage to the anal sphincter muscles leading to incontinence. The worst thing is that fissures can also increase the risk of developing anal cancer.

To prevent these complications, it is crucial that you seek proper treatment for fissures as soon as possible.

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 the 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 the 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.
