What is anal fissure?

Anal fissures are commonly found in the posterior region of the anus, running parallel to the buttock cleft. An anal fissure is a common medical condition characterized by a small gap in the skin surrounding the anal opening. It's important to note that while the pain associated with this condition often arises suddenly, it can also develop gradually over time.

Fissures are small skin breaks that can be triggered by factors such as smoking, chronic inflammation, or digestive issues. They are also referred to as acquired fissures. Almost everyone experiences this condition at some point in their lives, but it typically does not persist for more than six weeks.

Symptoms

• Painful defecation : Patients experiencing this pain may delay bowel movements due to fear. This can create a vicious cycle of trauma and hard stools, leading to constipation and further difficulty in passing stools. The discomfort during defecation can be intense, sharp, or burning, and the burning sensation may persist for a few hours.
• Bleeding : Occasionally, blood may be observed as a stain on the feces or noticed on the tissue.
• Anal sphincter spasms : The anal sphincter can go into spasms, causing the need to strain while passing stools.
• Anal itching : Also known as pruritus ani, it refers to the itching sensation in the anal area.

Treatment

• Lords dilation - This treatment involves dilating the anal sphincter to provide significant relief from external hemorrhoid symptoms. If other treatments, such as massage, oral medications, and occlusive bandages, have been ineffective, sphincter dilation may be the next recommended step.
• PLIS (Partial Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy)- PLIS is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. It involves making a small incision in the anal region. The primary goal of this procedure is to reduce constipation, straining, and pain experienced during bowel movements.
• Laser treatment - Laser surgery using the Leonardo laser, which was introduced for the first time in India at Healing Hands Clinic, is an innovative procedure in the field of aesthetics. The laser is utilized to perform internal sphincterotomy, a treatment option for certain conditions.

Diagnosing a fissure :

The diagnosis of a fissure typically involves a brief evaluation of your symptoms and a visual examination of the anus. In most cases, this is sufficient to make a conclusive diagnosis. However, in rare instances, your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out any underlying causes associated with the fissure.

Conclusion

Botox has gained popularity as a non-surgical treatment option for chronic anal fissures. If you have been searching for an alternative, non-surgical approach to address your chronic fissure and have exhausted various treatment options, considering Botox may be a viable choice worth exploring.
