Assessment of anal fissure pain and bleeding, with surgery considered when other treatment has not helped.
About Anal Fissure Surgery
An anal fissure is a small tear in the skin at the opening of the anus. It can cause pain when passing stool and a small amount of bright red bleeding. An examination helps your doctor distinguish a fissure from other causes of these symptoms.
Many fissures improve with treatment for constipation and prescribed medicines. A procedure may be considered if the problem persists. The surgeon will discuss options, potential benefits and risks, including effects on bowel control. Arrange a consultation for symptoms that continue or worsen.
