An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the lining of the anus. These tears can cause significant pain, discomfort, and sometimes bleeding during bowel movements. They are a common condition and can affect people of all ages.
While anal fissures can heal on their own in some cases, they often require surgical intervention to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.

Prevention of Anal Fissure
Treatment Option for Fissure in Ano
- Accurate Diagnosis: Dr. Vikram Ramamurthy, the BEST Fissure Specialist, will perform a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination and, if necessary, additional diagnostic tests such as anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to confirm the presence and severity of the fissure.
- Conservative Treatments: In many cases, anal fissures can be managed with conservative treatments, including dietary modifications, fiber supplements, and topical medications. Lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Medications: When needed, we may prescribe medications to relax the anal sphincter muscles, reduce pain, and promote healing. These may include topical creams or ointments.
- Soaking the anal area in warm water, known as sitz baths, can help relieve pain and discomfort associated with anal fissures.
- Dietary Guidance: dietary recommendations to promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation or diarrhea, which can exacerbate fissures.
- Minimally Invasive Advance Procedures: For fissures that do not respond to conservative treatment, we offer minimally invasive procedures such as Botox injections or lateral internal sphincterotomies. These techniques help relax the anal sphincter and promote healing.
- Advance Surgical Options: In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair the fissure or address underlying conditions contributing to the problem. Our team is experienced in a range of surgical techniques to provide the best care for each patient.
