What is Fissure?
An anal fissure or fissure in Ano is a break or tear in the skin that lines the opening of the canal. It occurs most commonly between 15-40 yrs of age group. If the fissure persists for more than 6 weeks than it is called a chronic anal fissure and characterized by the presence of external skin tag which is called a sentinel pile.
Causes of Fissure
Fissures are usually caused by trauma to the inner lining of the anus by:
- Passage of hard stools
- Trauma during childbirth
- IBD, TB, STD, malignancy
- Anal intercourse and finger evacuation
- Frequent defecation
Treatment

- If this therapy fails then the doctor will most probably recommend you some chemical sphincterotomy agents available in form of creams with a due explanation on their side effects.
- Finally, surgery is the most definitive treatment and at some time offered even without undergoing conservative treatment if the symptoms are very severe.
