An anal fissure refers to a small tear in the thin tissue lining the anal canal, typically resulting from the passage of hard or bulky stools. This condition often causes sharp pain during defecation and may lead to bleeding. While it is a common and usually non-serious issue, if not addressed in time, the fissure can become chronic and trigger ongoing pain and complications.
Anal fissures can occur at any age and are frequently observed in infants, individuals with chronic constipation, and women post-childbirth. These fissures are categorized into acute (healing within 6 weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than 6 weeks). Chronic fissures may expose the internal anal sphincter and often necessitate medical or surgical solutions.
