GI Surgeries
A small rip in the mucosa, a delicate, moist tissue that lines the anus, is known as an anal fissure. When you pass large or hard stools during a bowel movement, an anal fissure may develop. Anal fissures commonly result in discomfort and bleeding during bowel movements.
Dr. Vivek would probably inquire about your medical background and do a physical examination that includes a light examination of the anal region. The tear is frequently apparent. This examination is typically all that is required to identify an anal fissure.
An acute anal fissure resembles a paper cut or a fresh rip. In addition to having a deeper rip, a chronic anal fissure may also contain internal or external fleshy growths. If a fissure persists for more than eight weeks, it is deemed chronic.

Fissure removal may be needed when non-surgical treatments, such as lifestyle changes, topical medications, and sitz baths, are not successful in relieving the symptoms of an anal fissure. An anal fissure is a tear or cut in the lining of the anus, which can cause pain, discomfort, bleeding, and itching. If left untreated, the fissure can become chronic, making it more difficult to heal and increasing the risk of complications, such as infection or the formation of an abscess or fistula. Fissure removal aims to eliminate the fissure and promote healing of the anal tissues, improving overall quality of life and preventing complications.
