Fissure Treatment
Patient Centered Anorectal Care
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal, often caused by passing hard stools or excessive straining. It can lead to sharp pain and bleeding during bowel movements, and if not treated early, may become a chronic condition causing prolonged discomfort.
At Sahaj Hospital, we provide advanced fissure treatment in Indore using evidence-based and minimally invasive techniques focused on fast relief, minimal discomfort, and long-term healing.
Types of Anal Fissure
Anal fissures are categorized based on duration and severity:
- Acute Fissure – Recent tear that usually heals with medication and conservative treatment
- Chronic Fissure – Long-standing fissure that may require procedural or surgical intervention
Causes and Risk Factors
Fissures are commonly associated with bowel-related issues and lifestyle factors:
- Chronic constipation
- Passing hard or large stools
- Straining during bowel movements
- Low-fiber diet
- Prolonged diarrhea
- Reduced blood flow to the anal region
A proper clinical evaluation helps identify the underlying cause.
Symptoms of Anal Fissure
Early consultation can prevent the condition from becoming chronic. Common symptoms include:
- Sharp pain during and after bowel movements
- Bleeding (usually bright red)
- Burning or irritation in the anal area
- Visible tear or crack near the anal area
Persistent pain after passing stool is a key indicator of fissure.
Treatment Options
At Sahaj Hospital, treatment is tailored based on the severity and duration of the condition.
Non-Surgical Treatment
In early stages, fissures can be treated with medication, stool softeners, and dietary modifications to reduce strain and promote healing.
Laser Fissure Treatment
A minimally invasive option that helps reduce pain, promotes faster healing, and minimizes recovery time.
Surgical Treatment
For chronic fissures that do not respond to conservative treatment, surgical intervention may be recommended by specialists.
Post-Treatment Care
Proper aftercare, including diet and bowel habit management, plays a key role in preventing recurrence.
