fissure

What is fissure?

The dictionary meaning of “fissure” is a long, narrow crack or groove. In medicine, however, the term usually refers to an anal fissure—a small tear in the lining of the anus that causes sharp pain during bowel movements.

Causes of fissure

Most anal fissures are thought to be caused by hard constipated stools, hard stool causes muscles around anus tense up and in spasm, this makes the anus to tear. It also reduces the blood supply to the area, which makes it harder for any tears to heal.
Common causes of anal fissure include:
1. Constipation- hard stool causes tear in anus
2. Pregnancy- during child birth
3. Less common causes of anal fissure include:
  - Inflammatory bowel disease- Crohn’s disease
  - Sexually transmitted infection or local skin infection
  - Some medicines- chemotherapy drugs, opioid pain killers.
  - Some skin condition- psoriasis
  - Trauma- while performing anal sex or surgery.
  - Bowel cancer

1. Softens constipation: Perfect when fissures occur because of chronic, hard stool or straining.
2. Decreases straining reflex: The urge to strain repeatedly despite passing stool is reduced.
3. Improves pelvic circulation: It relieves venous congestion of the rectum, so tissues become less swollen and irritated.
4. Decreases spasm of anal sphincter: Helpful when the patient describes intense constriction after stool.
5. Reduces burning pain: Classic burning, stinging pain after passing stool is markedly relieved.
6. Promotes healing of ulcerated tissues: Paeonia acts deeply on the mucocutaneous junction, helping repair the cracked, raw anal lining.
