Fissure: Causes, Symptoms & Effective Treatment

An anal fissure is a small tear or cut in the lining of the anus that can cause severe pain and discomfort during bowel movements. It is a common condition but often misunderstood or ignored due to hesitation. The good news is that with the right treatment, anal fissures can heal effectively and prevent recurrence.

What is an Anal Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, delicate lining of the anal canal. This tear can occur due to excessive pressure or trauma during bowel movements.

👉 In simple words: A small cut near the anus that causes pain and sometimes bleeding.
