An anal fissure is a rip or cut in the thin lining of your anus that discloses the muscle around which is called the anal sphincter. The injury in the skin can often pull apart the edges of the fissure, cause the muscle to spasm, and make the condition worsen. Once the cramp occurs, the condition can be painful and the wound may take time to heal. Chronic diarrhea and constipation are bowel conditions that make anal fissures worse over time.

Irrespective of age and gender, any individual can be at risk of developing an anal fissure. Although medical reports suggest that people between the age group of 20 to 40 are more at risk of getting anal fissures and Dr Bhushan Chittawadagi provide best fissure treatment in Bangalore

Anal fissures can be classified based on their duration and underlying causes. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadgi, a leading fissure specialist in Bangalore, provides expert diagnosis and treatment for all types of fissures.

• Acute Anal Fissure – A fresh tear in the anal lining that usually heals within 6 weeks with conservative treatment.
• Chronic Anal Fissure – A long-standing fissure that persists for more than 8 weeks, often requiring medical or surgical intervention.

Anal fissures occur when the anal tissue is stretched beyond its capacity. Common causes include:

• Constipation and passing hard, dry stools
• Straining too hard during bowel movements
• Chronic diarrhoea that irritates the anal canal
• Childbirth — especially in women who have vaginal delivery
• Anal intercourse
• Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
• Low-fibre diet that leads to hard stools
• Reduced blood flow to the anal region in older adults

Understanding the root cause helps Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi plan the most effective treatment for each patient.

The symptoms of anal fissure can usually be confused with those of piles or hemorrhoids. There is a high chance that you would feel awkward and ashamed talking about your signs to your doctor, but it is necessary to do so. A professional proctologist like Dr. Bhushan can diagnose anal fissures just by physical examination. But to rule out the problem the fissure doctor may need to do a rectal examination to diagnose the condition in detail. In this process, the doctor inserts a gloved finger inside your anus to feel the abnormal growth.

Generally, anal fissures can be diagnosed with just a visual examination. But depending upon the severity of your condition, Dr. Bhushan might need you to undergo more tests before defining the best line of treatment. Often, anal fissures are associated with other health conditions, such as Crohn’s disease and other serious conditions. In that case, the proctologist might recommend a sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or anoscopy for better evaluation. Additionally, the doctor might also ask you the following questions to understand your condition better:

• Since when did you start feeling pain in your anal region?
• How painful is your bowel movement?
• Does anyone in your family have anal fissures?
• What is your regular dietary routine like?
• Are you physically active?

While many anal fissures heal within a few weeks, chronic or untreated cases can lead to severe complications. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadgi, a leading gastroenterologist in Bangalore, specializes in advanced treatments to prevent and manage these issues effectively.

• Fecal Impaction – Persistent constipation can cause hardened stools to get stuck in the rectum, making bowel movements extremely painful.
• Anal Fistula – An abnormal tunnel forms between the infected anal canal and the outer skin, leading to persistent infection and discomfort.
• Anal Stenosis – Narrowing of the anal canal makes it difficult to pass stools, often requiring medical intervention.
• Chronic Fissure – If a fissure does not heal within 8 weeks, it is classified as chronic and may need specialized treatment.
• Recurring Fissures – Once a fissure develops, the risk of recurrence increases, leading to repeated pain and discomfort.
• Deep Tissue Damage – If left untreated, the fissure can extend into the internal anal sphincter, causing more severe complications.
