Fissure in Ano Treatment in Chandigarh & Mohali — Dr. Rajeev Kapoor
What Is a Fissure in Ano?
A fissure in ano (anal fissure) is a small tear in the sensitive lining of the anal canal. It commonly causes sharp pain and bright red bleeding during or after bowel movements. While often temporary, persistent fissures require skilled care to ensure comfort and proper healing.
Causes & Risk Factors
Common causes include:
- Passing hard or large stools (constipation)
- Excessive strain during bowel movements
- Chronic diarrhea or childbirth trauma
- Conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or reduced blood flow
- People in Chandigarh and Mohali experiencing these issues should seek prompt evaluation to prevent chronic symptom
Treatment Options
Conservative & Home-Based Care
- Warm sitz baths to soothe pain and relax sphincter muscles
- Increased dietary fiber, hydration, and stool softeners to ease bowel movements
- Gentle anal hygiene to support healing
- This approach often successfully resolves early-stage fissures.
Medical Treatments
When fissures persist for over six weeks, medical options may include:
- Topical ointments like nitroglycerin or calcium channel blockers to promote healing
- Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to relieve muscle spasm
- These non-invasive treatments show substantial healing benefits.
Surgical Solutions for Persistent Fissures
For chronic or unresponsive fissures, a gentle surgical approach—lateral internal sphincterotomy—relieves muscle tension and enables swift healing. This highly effective technique has minimal risk of complications and excellent long-term outcomes.
Recovery & Long-Term Management
- Many experience pain relief soon after treatment begins
- Complete healing generally occurs within 2–3 weeks post-treatment
- Continuing a high-fiber diet, hydration, and bowel habit management helps prevent recurrence
- Follow-up care ensures proper recovery and addresses any emerging concerns
