An Anal Fissure is a small cut or tear in the lining of the anus. It usually causes sharp pain and burning during or after passing stools. Common causes include constipation, straining, or passing hard stools. Symptoms may include bleeding, itching, or discomfort around the anus. Both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) fissures can occur. Lifestyle changes like a high-fiber diet and hydration help in healing. Sitz baths and prescribed ointments can relieve pain and promote recovery. In severe or non-healing cases, minor surgical treatment may be required.
