Anal Fissure

An anal fissure is a tiny tear in the mucosa, a delicate, moist membrane that lines the anus. You could develop an anal fissure if you pass large or hard stools during a bowel movement. Anal fissures frequently result in pain and blood when bowel motions occur. You could also get spasms in the muscular ring that forms the anus (anal sphincter).

Anal fissures can afflict persons of any age but are most prevalent in early infants. The majority of anal fissures improve with straightforward therapies like sitz baths or increased fibre intake. Anal fissure sufferers could occasionally require surgery or prescription medication.

Anal Fistula Diagnosis

MediCub Doctors can usually diagnose an anal fistula by examining the area around the anus(anal part). Experts will look for an opening (the fistula tract) on the skin and then try to determine how deep the tract is, and the direction in which it is going. In many cases, there will be drainage from the external opening. The doctors may require your past medical and medication history to rule out the presence of any disease or disorder that can cause anal fissures. Using the latest diagnostic devices and procedures like anoscopy, colonoscopy, and flexible sigmoidoscopy, our fissure specialists can look into the tear and can evaluate the severity of your anal fissures. By doing so, our doctors can provide you with the best suitable treatment options at an affordable cost.

Some fistulas may not be visible on the skin’s surface. In this case, your physician may need to perform additional tests:

✓ An anoscopy is a procedure in which a special instrument is used to see inside your anus and rectum.

✓ Your physician may also order an ultrasound or MRI of the anal area to get a better view of the fistula tract.

✓ Sometimes your surgeon will need to examine you in the operating room (exam under anesthesia) to diagnose the fistula.

Anal Fissure Surgery

Surgery is almost always necessary to cure an anal fistula. The surgery is performed by a colon and rectal surgeon. The goal of the surgery is a balance between getting rid of the fistula while protecting the anal sphincter muscles, which usually, anal fissures can be treated by performing surgeries like anal sphincterotomy, lateral internal sphincterotomy [LIS], and fissure surgery by laser. Out of all these, our doctors perform laser anal fissure surgery with no or minimal risks and complications. At MediCub, the Patient will undergo anal fissure surgery by laser from well-experienced specialized doctors.
