Anal fissure

An anal fissure is a tear in the skin of the lower wall of the rectum (anus), and causes pain during the passage of stool.

A fissure in the anus is a common disease, but it does not lead to more serious diseases. Anal fissure appears in different people at different ages, especially in the young age, and it appears in men and women in similar proportions, alike. Anal fissures can also appear with hemorrhoids.

Causes of anal fissures:

  • Damage to the anal canal.
  • Persistent diarrhea.
  • Ulcerative colitis.
  • Infection with sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.
  • Muscle spasm in the anal sphincter.
  • Anal inflammation.

Symptoms of anal fissure:

  • Severe pain during defecation.
  • Severe heartburn after defecation.
  • Bleeding during defecation.
  • Itching and irritation around the anus.
  • A tear in the skin around the anus.

Dr. Ehab uses the latest technologies in the treatment of anal diseases, such as lasers and infrared rays, which give satisfactory results.

It is necessary to go to a highly qualified and highly experienced proctologist, and this is provided by Dr. Ehab Center.

It is possible that the anal fissure leads to other diseases if it is not treated early, as there is a narrowing in the anal opening, which makes it difficult to excrete the process, which causes swelling and poor digestion, which leads to anal hemorrhoids.
