A Detailed Description of Anal Fissure and Its Management
Journal Title: EIJO Journal of Ayurveda, Herbal Medicine and Innovative Research (EIJO – AHMIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
An anal fissure is an anal tear, crack or ulcer in the lining of the anal canal - a cut or tear in the anus that extends into the anal canal. Although most anal fissures are less than one centimeter across, the anus is an extremely sensitive part of the body, pain symptoms tend to be worse than one would expect from such a small tear. The pain can be so severe that patients are unwilling to have a bowel movement, resulting in constipation and even fecal impaction. Causes like constipation, muscle spasm, Pregnancy and childbirth etc. are responsible for its formation. Patients with anal fissures consistently show that the muscles surrounding the anal canal are contracting too strongly (they are in spasm), thereby generating a pressure in the canal that is abnormally high. Conservative as well as Analgesics and surgery works to improve the general condition.
