What is Anal Fissure?

The meaning of Anal Fissure is a tear that is caused in the lining of the anus or anus canal. It might happen while passing hard stools. An anal fissure can bring about sharp pain and bleeding during and after defecations.

The fissure might likewise bring about tingling and blaze in the anal region. Sometimes when the pain gets too serious, the patient may suffer from vertigo and perspiration on passing stools.

And often patients complain of difficulty in passing stools due to narrowing the anal canal, caused by spasms of the internal sphincter. It is normally a minor condition that persists only for 3-4 weeks. Most of the time tears heal on their own.
