Anal Fissures

Fissures account for the most common type of painful rectal disease after hemorrhoids. These fissures are small, painful tears in the walls of the anus which are often treated by anti-inflammatory creams.

A second method of treatment is by surgically cutting the internal anal sphincter muscle. The spasm from this muscle contributes substantially to the pain of the fissures. Relief is seen after a brief hospital stay. Full healing may take ointments and a couple of weeks of bland and loose diet.
