Fissure Treatment in Ghaziabad

Living with an anal fissure can be distressing. The sharp, burning pain during bowel movements, the lingering discomfort that follows, and even the fear of using the toilet can begin to dominate daily life.

What Is a Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small cut or tear in the lining of the anal canal. This tiny tear leads to severe pain, burning, and often bleeding during bowel movements. While it may sound minor, the discomfort it causes can be intense.

Why does it happen?

Passing hard stools due to chronic constipation

Prolonged diarrhea

Post-pregnancy changes in women

If left untreated, what starts as an acute fissure can become chronic, with thickened edges, constant pain, and even muscle spasm that prevents healing.

Here is how anal fissures are treated step by step.

What treatment options are available for you?

Modern fissure care focuses on healing the tear, relieving pain, and preventing the condition from recurring. Treatment begins with a detailed assessment of symptoms and the stage of the fissure—whether it is acute (recent) or chronic (long-standing).

Step 1: Lifestyle and Dietary Measures

In the early stages, many fissures respond well to simple but disciplined changes:

A fiber-rich diet to soften stools and reduce straining

Adequate hydration throughout the day
Regular, moderate physical activity to maintain bowel regularity
These measures reduce the frequency of hard stools and allow the lining of the anus to recover naturally.

Step 2: Medical Management

When symptoms persist despite lifestyle changes, medications are introduced:
Ointments that relax the anal sphincter and improve blood flow
Pain-relieving gels to reduce discomfort
Laxatives or stool softeners to prevent further tearing
Warm sitz baths to ease spasm and improve healing conditions
This phase aims to promote healing without invasive procedures.

Step 3: Non-Surgical Interventions

Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections help relax the tight muscle around the tear, allowing the fissure to heal naturally over time.

Step 4: Advanced Surgical Solutions

In chronic cases where pain and bleeding continue, surgery becomes the most reliable option. Dr. Shashank Agrawal specializes in techniques that minimize discomfort and speed up recovery:
Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS): A precise and proven procedure that reduces muscle tension and allows the fissure to heal permanently.

Laser-Assisted Fissure Surgery: Uses focused laser energy to treat the fissure with minimal bleeding and a faster return to normal activities.

Robotic-Assisted Procedures: Reserved for complex or recurrent fissures, these procedures enhance precision and outcomes.

“Our approach is guided by the stage of the condition and the overall comfort of the patient. With modern methods, most people return to pain-free living quickly,” notes Dr. Shashank Agrawal, an experienced fissure doctor in Ghaziabad
