Assessment
The fissure and surrounding area are assessed before treatment.
MODERN, MINIMALLY INVASIVE CARE FOR FISSURE
Laser Surgery for Fissure
Laser-based procedures may be considered for patients with chronic or recurrent anal fissures. A detailed evaluation helps determine whether laser treatment is appropriate based on the fissure type, severity, symptoms, and clinical findings.
UNDERSTANDING ANAL FISSURE AND ITS COMMON SYMPTOMS
What Is an Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the delicate lining of the anus. It commonly causes sharp or burning pain during and after bowel movements and may sometimes lead to bright-red bleeding.
Anal fissures can develop due to hard or dry stools, constipation, straining during bowel movements, or repeated irritation of the anal area. In some cases, diarrhoea or increased muscle tightness around the anus may also contribute.

COMMON FACTORS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO ANAL FISSURE
What Can Cause an Anal Fissure?

check_circle Excessive Straining Repeated straining can increase stress on the area.
check_circle Local Trauma Certain forms of local injury may contribute to fissure formation.
check_circle Hard Stools Passing hard stools can cause stretching and injury.
check_circle Frequent Diarrhoea Repeated loose stools may irritate the anal lining.
check_circle Muscle Spasm Increased sphincter tension may interfere with healing.
UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCES TO GUIDE THE RIGHT TREATMENT
Acute vs. Chronic Anal Fissure
Understanding the nature of the fissure helps determine the appropriate treatment approach.
Acute Fissure
A recent tear in the anal lining that typically has a short duration and may heal with conservative care.
- Recent onset of anal pain
- Sharp pain during or after bowel movements
- Bright-red bleeding may occur
- No significant chronic changes around the fissure
Chronic Fissure
A persistent or recurrent fissure that may require further treatment.
- Persistent or recurring symptoms
- May have associated muscle spasm
- May not respond adequately to conservative care
- May require procedural treatment
GENTLE, NON-SURGICAL APPROACHES TO SUPPORT HEALING
Conservative Treatment Options
Depending on the condition, non-surgical treatment may be recommended before considering a procedure.
-
1
Adequate Fluids
Adequate hydration can help support softer bowel movements.
-
2
Fibre-Rich Diet
Suitable dietary fibre can help improve bowel regularity.
-
3
Bowel Management
Avoiding constipation and excessive straining can support healing.
-
4
Medicines
Prescribed topical or oral medicines may be recommended when appropriate.
WHEN ADDITIONAL EVALUATION OR PROCEDURAL CARE MAY BE NEEDED
When Conservative Treatment May Not Be Enough
If symptoms continue despite appropriate conservative treatment, your doctor may recommend further evaluation and discuss procedural treatment options.
