Knowing About Fissure Treatment in Detail

Early diagnosis and specialised treatment are essential to prevent chronic complications and recurring symptoms.

Dr Saurabh Bansal is a gastrointestinal and laparoscopic surgeon who treats anal fissure, piles and fistula. Treatment is chosen after examination, and most patients start with diet changes and medicines before surgery is considered.
Common Causes & Risk Factors
Several factors can contribute to the development of anal fissures. Understanding these risk factors helps in early prevention and effective treatment.
Chronic Constipation
Hard stools and excessive straining during bowel movements can tear the anal lining and trigger fissures.
Frequent Diarrhea
Repeated diarrhoea can irritate the anal canal, leading to inflammation and small tears in the lining of the anal canal.
Low-Fibre Diet
Insufficient fibre intake often causes irregular bowel movements and constipation, increasing pressure on the anal area.
Anal Muscle Spasm
Tightening of the anal sphincter muscles can reduce blood flow and delay the natural healing process of fissures.
Identifying the Symptoms
Severe Pain During Bowel Movements
Sharp, burning, or tearing pain while passing stool is one of the most common signs of an anal fissure. The discomfort may continue for hours after bowel movements.
Bleeding During Passing Stool
Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the stool can occur due to a tear in the anal lining, especially during constipation or straining.
Itching & Irritation
Persistent itching, irritation, or discomfort around the anal area may indicate inflammation and should be examined.
Muscle Spasms & Tightness
Many patients experience anal muscle spasms or tightness that worsens pain and delays the natural healing process.
Diagnosis Process
To diagnose an anal fissure and judge how severe it is, Dr Saurabh Bansal examines the area and rules out other conditions such as piles, fistula, infection or inflammatory bowel disease.
Physical Examination
A detailed clinical examination is performed before the Fissure Treatment in Delhi to assess the anal region for visible tears, inflammation, muscle spasms, bleeding, and signs of chronic fissures. He also reviews the patient’s medical history, bowel habits, pain patterns, and associated symptoms to understand the root cause of the condition.
Diagnostic Evaluation
In certain cases, specialised diagnostic procedures such as anoscopy or proctoscopy may be recommended to examine the anal canal more closely and evaluate the extent of tissue damage or associated anorectal conditions.
Laboratory Analysis
Additional tests may be advised if underlying digestive disorders, infections, or inflammatory conditions are suspected. These evaluations help Dr. Saurabh Bansal create a personalised and effective anal fissure treatment Delhi plan focused on long-term healing and prevention of recurrence.
