A fissure is a small tear or cut in the skin lining of the anus, causing sharp pain and bleeding during or after passing stools. Though it may seem minor at first, an untreated fissure can lead to chronic discomfort or infection.
Why Does Fissure Occur?
Fissures usually happen due to:
- Passing hard or large stools
- Chronic constipation or diarrhea
- Excessive straining during bowel movements
- Low-fiber diet
- Post-delivery trauma in women
- Long hours of sitting, poor hydration
How to Identify a Fissure?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it may be a fissure:
- Sharp pain during or after passing stool
- Bright red blood on the toilet paper or stool
- Burning or itching sensation in the anal area
- A visible tear or crack near the anus
- Muscle spasms or discomfort while sitting
When Does It Need Surgery?
Most fissures can be healed with dietary changes, topical creams, and warm sitz baths. But surgery is needed if:
- Fissure doesn’t heal in 6–8 weeks (Chronic fissure)
- Severe pain persists despite medication
- Recurrent fissures affect daily life
- Internal muscle tightness prevents healing
