A small rip in the mucosa, a delicate, moist tissue that lines the anus, is known as an anal fissure. When you pass large or hard stools during a bowel movement, an anal fissure may develop. Anal fissures commonly result in discomfort and bleeding during bowel movements.
Dr. Vivek would probably inquire about your medical background and do a physical examination that includes a light examination of the anal region. The tear is frequently apparent. This examination is typically all that is required to identify an anal fissure. An acute anal fissure resembles a paper cut or a fresh rip. In addition to having a deeper rip, a chronic anal fissure may also contain internal or external fleshy growths. If a fissure persists for more than eight weeks, it is deemed chronic. The position of the fissure provides hints as to its origin. Instead of the rear or front of the anal hole, a fissure is more likely to be a symptom of another condition, like Crohn's disease. If your doctor suspects an underlying issue, they might advise more testing:
Anoscopy : Dr Vivek will use an anoscope, a tube instrument, to assist them see the rectum and anus
Flexible sigmoidoscopy : The bottom part of your colon will be punctured by your doctor inserting a thin, flexible tube with a little video within. If you are under 50 and have no known risk factors for colon cancer or gastrointestinal conditions, this test may be performed on you.
Colonoscopy : To examine your entire colon, your doctor will put a flexible tube into your rectum. If you are older than 50, have risk factors for colon cancer, symptoms of other diseases, or other symptoms including diarrhoea or abdominal pain, this test may be performed on you.
When home remedies fail to produce positive results, it is necessary to consult a Hemorrhoids surgeon. Hemorrhoids treatment comes in a variety of forms.
