Anal Fissure is a small tear or cut in the anus which extends upwards into the anal canal. It is more found in infants who are between the ages of 6 to 24 months and generally 6 to 15% of the visits are caused due to this problem to a colonic and rectal surgeon. This problem can also develop in older people due to of passing hard or large stools during bowel movements. This problem can occur to both men and women equally of all the ages.
Anal fissure cause pain during bowel movements and may result in rectal bleeding. The pain may become severe and fail to heal, if it’s become chronic. If anal fissure fails to heal automatically then surgery may relieve your discomfort. Around 90 percent of anal fissure problem can heal automatically. You can also use topical creams or suppositories to provide relief from the pain.
The problem of anal fissure occurs in the specialized tissue that lines the anus and anal canal called anoderm. At a line just inside the anus–referred to as the anal verge or intersphincteric groove–the skin (dermis) of the inner buttocks changes to anoderm.
