About anal fissure
An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, moist lining of the anal canal. It causes sharp, cutting or burning pain during and after passing stool, which can last for hours, and bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper. Hard stools and constipation are the most common cause, and the pain makes the muscle around the anus tighten, which slows healing. Most acute fissures heal within a few weeks with a high-fibre diet, plenty of water, warm sitz baths and avoiding straining; one that lasts longer than six to eight weeks is called chronic and needs medical review. Bleeding from the rectum should always be assessed by a doctor to exclude piles and other causes.
