Fissure

An anal fissure is a common condition characterized by a small tear or split in the lining of the anus. It can cause discomfort and pain during bowel movements, leading to considerable discomfort. In this article, we will discuss the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for anal fissures.

External hemorrhoids are positioned beyond the anal verge, which is the lower end of the anal canal. They can cause discomfort, along with swelling and irritation. While itching is often mistakenly attributed to external hemorrhoids, it is usually caused by skin irritation. External hemorrhoids are at a higher risk of thrombosis, wherein the vein may rupture or a blood clot may form, resulting in the development of a thrombosed hemorrhoid.
Internal hemorrhoids are veins within the rectum that become swollen and varicose. They are located in the area drained by branches of the superior rectal arteries. Since this region does not have pain receptors, internal hemorrhoids typically do not cause pain, and many individuals are unaware of their presence. However, they can bleed if they become irritated.
  • Anal fissures can occur due to various factors, including:
  • Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can put pressure on the anal canal, leading to the development of fissures.
  • Diarrhea: Frequent and watery stools can irritate the delicate skin around the anus, making it more susceptible to fissures.
  • Trauma: An injury or trauma to the anal area, such as from childbirth or anal intercourse, can cause fissures.
  • Chronic inflammatory conditions: Conditions such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis can increase the risk of developing anal fissures.
