Anal fissures are tiny tears or cuts in the lining of the anal canal, leading to discomfort and bleeding. The tears are often exacerbated during bowel movements. They are a common condition that can be extremely painful and can take weeks or months to heal.
Anal fissures can affect a wide range of individuals. The most pronounced are those whose lifestyle predisposes them to constipation or straining during bowel movements, such as a low-fibre diet or prolonged inactivity. Individuals who have suffered from diarrhea or who have practiced anal insertions are more likely to suffer from anal fissures.
While many anal fissures result from the passage of hard stools, some may be associated with more serious underlying conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), sexually transmitted infections, or even precancerous or cancerous lesions. You must seek medical help if you have persistent or worrying symptoms.
If you’re facing the discomfort and challenges of anal fissures, it’s time to find relief. We invite you to seek the empathetic support, personalized diagnostics, and advanced treatment options available at West Island Colorectal Clinic.
