Overview

An anal fissure refers to a minor tear or split in the delicate mucous membrane lining the anus. Though typically benign, an anal fissure may lead to intense pain, bleeding episodes, and discomfort during or following defecation. If not treated early, fissures can become chronic, leading to recurring symptoms and complications.

Causes of Anal Fissure

• Passing hard or large stools

• Chronic constipation or diarrhea

• Straining during defecation

• Inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g., Crohn’s disease)

• Childbirth trauma or anal intercourse

Symptoms to Watch For

• Severe pain while passing stools

• Bright red bleeding from the anus

• Burning or itching sensation

• A visible fissure in the anal mucosa.

• Presence of a sentinel pile (a small skin tag) adjacent to the fissure, often indicating chronicity.
