Laser Surgery for Fissure in Ahmedabad

An anal fissure is a small tear in the delicate lining (mucosa) of the anus, usually caused by passing hard or large stools. This condition often leads to pain and bleeding during bowel movements. Although common, anal fissures can become chronic if not treated properly and may require surgical care.

Common Symptoms of Anal Fissure

  • Sharp pain during bowel movements
  • Discomfort or burning sensation lasting hours after passing stool
  • Bright red blood visible on toilet paper or stool
  • A visible tear or crack around the anus
  • Small skin tag or lump near the fissure site

Causes of Anal Fissure

  • Passing hard or bulky stools
  • Chronic constipation and straining during bowel movements
  • Ongoing diarrhea
  • Childbirth-related strain
  • Anal intercourse

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is usually made through a physical examination of the anal region. An acute fissure may resemble a small paper cut, while a chronic fissure may appear deeper with skin growths. In some cases, further tests may be recommended:

  • Anoscopy – Using a small tube to examine the anus and rectum
  • Flexible Sigmoidoscopy – A camera test to check the lower colon
  • Colonoscopy – Recommended for patients over 50 or those with additional symptoms like abdominal pain or diarrhea

Treatment Options for Anal Fissure

If lifestyle changes and home remedies don’t improve the condition, consulting a fissure surgeon in Ahmedabad is advised. Treatment options include:

  • Medication – Ointments and oral medicines to reduce pain and heal the tear
  • Conventional Surgery – Effective for chronic or recurring fissures
  • Laser Fissure Surgery – A modern, minimally invasive method with quicker recovery and less discomfort
