Embarrassment is one reason. Fear of a painful operation is the other. I understand both. > > These conditions are extremely common, the examination is quick and private, and many people don't need surgery at all. When they do, laser and modern techniques make recovery far easier than most people expect. **Dr. Naresh Veeranki**General, laparoscopic and laser surgeon ## What is anal fissure treatment? Sharp, cutting pain during motions. Most fissures heal without surgery. The anal lining has many nerve endings, and the tear triggers spasm of the sphincter muscle. ### How it's treated, from simplest to most involved 1. 1 #### Softeners, diet and sitz baths Enough for most new (acute) fissures within a few weeks. 2. 2 #### Muscle-relaxing ointments Diltiazem or glyceryl trinitrate ointment relaxes the sphincter so the tear can heal. Used for 6 to 8 weeks. 3. 3 #### Botox injection Temporarily relaxes the muscle for chronic fissures, for people who want to avoid surgery. 4. 4 #### Sphincterotomy or laser For chronic fissures that haven't healed with medicines. High healing rates; laser can also treat the fissure bed and skin tag. ## TL;DR Anal fissure treatment: quick facts The key facts in one table, so you know what to expect before your first consultation.

If symptoms are severe and you can't get through, go to the nearest emergency department. 6Frequently asked questions (FAQs) #### Why is such a small tear so painful? The anal lining has many nerve endings, and the tear triggers spasm of the sphincter muscle. The spasm reduces blood flow and stops the tear healing, which is why treatment focuses on relaxing that muscle. #### Is this the same as piles? No, though they're often confused. Piles usually bleed without much pain; fissures cause marked pain. The treatments differ, so getting the diagnosis right matters. #### Will surgery make me lose control of motions? The operation divides a small, measured part of the inner muscle. A few people notice minor leakage of wind, usually temporary. Your risk is assessed carefully first, especially for women who have had vaginal deliveries. #### I'm scared to go to the toilet. What can I do now? Take a stool softener daily, drink plenty of water, sit in warm water after motions, and use the prescribed ointment regularly. Don't hold stool back; it gets harder and makes the tear worse. #### How long should I try medicines before surgery? Usually 6 to 8 weeks. If the fissure hasn't healed by then, or keeps coming back, surgery is worth discussing. #### Can a fissure turn into cancer? No. But a fissure that doesn't heal, or one in an unusual position, is examined more carefully to rule out other conditions. #### Can a fissure come back? Yes, if constipation returns. After healing, fibre and good fluid intake help prevent new tears. #### What is the cost of anal fissure treatment in Vijayawada? The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover anal fissure treatment.
