When Should You See a Doctor?

You should not ignore symptoms of anal fissure, as untreated tears can become chronic and lead to recurring pain. Seek medical help if you experience:

Severe pain during or after passing stool
Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the stool
A visible tear or crack in the skin around the anus
Persistent itching or irritation in the anal area
A small lump near the anal fissure

Early consultation with an experienced proctologist in Delhi can help you receive the right diagnosis and avoid long-term complications.

How is Anal Fissure Diagnosed?

Diagnosis is usually straightforward and involves:

The doctor will ask about your symptoms, bowel habits, and any history of digestive disorders.
The area around the anus is visually inspected for tears, swelling, or skin tags.
This may be avoided in very painful cases but can be used once discomfort subsides.
A small instrument is used to get a closer look inside the anal canal if necessary.

In some cases, additional tests may be recommended to rule out other conditions such as hemorrhoids, infections, or inflammatory bowel disease.

Advanced Treatment Options for Anal Fissure

Treatment depends on whether the fissure is acute or chronic. In Delhi, medical centers like Pristyn Care offer both non-surgical and surgical solutions.

Non-surgical options include:

High-fiber diet and increased fluid intake
Stool softeners to prevent constipation
Topical ointments to reduce pain and relax the sphincter muscle
Warm sitz baths to soothe the area and promote blood flow

Surgical and advanced options include:

Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS): A minor procedure to relax the anal sphincter and allow healing.
Laser Surgery: Uses laser energy to treat the fissure with minimal bleeding and faster recovery.
Botox Injection: Temporarily relaxes the sphincter muscle to promote healing in selected cases.

Recovery Time

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the fissure and the type of treatment. Acute fissures treated with medicines may heal within 1–2 weeks, while chronic fissures treated surgically often require about 2–4 weeks for complete recovery. Laser treatments usually have a faster healing time compared to conventional surgery.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before the procedure, the doctor will review your medical history, examine the fissure, and recommend pre-procedure guidelines such as fasting or specific tests.

During the procedure, anesthesia is given for comfort. In surgical treatments like LIS or laser surgery, the fissure is treated, and in some cases, a small cut is made to reduce sphincter muscle tension.

After the procedure, you will be observed for a few hours. The doctor will provide wound care instructions, prescribe medications, and explain dietary modifications. Most patients can return home the same day.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Most patients experience significant relief from pain within a few days after surgery or laser treatment. Complete healing can take a few weeks.

Post-treatment care tips:

Eat a fiber-rich diet to prevent constipation
Drink plenty of fluids
Take prescribed painkillers and stool softeners
Avoid straining during bowel movements
Maintain good anal hygiene
Use warm sitz baths as advised
Attend follow-up visits as scheduled
