What is an Anal Fissure?

Understanding Your Condition

An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard stools, chronic constipation, or straining. While many fissures heal with conservative care, some may persist and develop into chronic conditions requiring medical or surgical intervention.

If left untreated, fissures can worsen over time, making rectal fissure treatment essential for preventing complications and improving quality of life.

Early diagnosis ensures effective treatment and prevents chronic complications.
