Anal Fissure Management

Dr. Rashmi Gupta provides effective and gentle management of anal fissures, aiming to relieve pain, promote healing, and prevent repeated tearing.

What It Is

An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal, often caused by hard stools, constipation, or excessive straining. It leads to sharp pain during bowel movements and may cause bleeding.

Procedure

Diagnosis is done through a simple clinical examination. Depending on severity, Dr. Rashmi Gupta may recommend medical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or minor procedures such as lateral sphincterotomy for chronic fissures.

Treatment / Management

Treatment includes stool softeners, topical ointments, warm sitz baths, and dietary changes to reduce strain. Chronic or severe fissures may require a small surgical procedure to relax the anal muscles and promote healing. Follow-up ensures complete recovery and prevention of recurrence.
