FISSURE & FISTULA
What is Fissure in Ano?
A fissure in ano, commonly known as an anal fissure, is a small tear or cut in the lining of the anus. It can cause severe pain, bleeding, and discomfort while passing stools. If left untreated, it can become chronic, leading to repeated episodes of pain and difficulty in healing.
Causes of Anal Fissure & Risk Factors
Anal fissures are commonly caused by trauma to the anal canal. Some common reasons include:
- •Chronic Constipation – Straining during bowel movements can cause tears.
- •Hard or Large Stools – Passing hard stools can injure the anal lining.
- •Diarrhea – Frequent loose stools can irritate the anal area.
- •Pregnancy & Childbirth – Increased pressure and strain during delivery can lead to fissures.
- •Low-Fiber Diet – Insufficient fiber intake can cause constipation, increasing the risk.
- •Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Conditions like Crohn's disease can contribute to fissures.
