Fissure - in - ano
Anal fissure or fissure-in-ano is one of the most common causes of anal pain and bleeding from the anus. Precisely, fissure-in-ano is a small cut or tear in the mucosa (lining) of the anus due to friction, scratch, or trauma.
In most patients, pain is intolerable and may be disproportionate to the severity of the lesion (fissure). Some patients describe the pain as passing pieces of broken glass while passing stools and a burning pain, which remains for several hours after passing stools. A few patients often report that the pain is so severe that they avoid defecation due to the fear of severe pain. This further leads to the hardening of the stools, which further tears the lining of the anus during the next defecation, setting a vicious cycle. Fissure-in-ano can significantly affect the quality of life of the patient.
Chronic conditions, such as long-standing constipation, diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, frequent use of laxatives, and post-pregnancy, are some of the most common causes of fissure-in-ano. The presentation of a fissure-in-ano could be acute or superficial (symptoms lasting for less than 6 weeks), chronic fissure (symptoms affecting more than 6 weeks), or recurrent.
