Fissure
An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the lining of the anus that causes severe pain and
discomfort during and after bowel movements. It is a common anorectal condition that can affect
people of all ages and may lead to bleeding, burning sensation, and difficulty passing stools if
left untreated.
Symptoms
- Sharp pain during bowel movements
- Burning sensation in the anal area
- Bright red bleeding after passing stools
- Visible crack or tear around the anus
- Itching and irritation near the anal opening
- Pain lasting for several hours after bowel movements
Causes
- Chronic constipation
- Passing hard or large stools
- Excessive straining during bowel movements
- Chronic diarrhea
- Low-fiber diet
- Childbirth-related trauma

Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually made through a detailed medical history and physical examination of the anal region. In some cases, additional investigations such as anoscopy or proctoscopic examination may be recommended to assess the severity of the fissure and rule out other anorectal conditions.
