Anal Fissures

Anal fissures are small tears or cracks in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard stools, constipation, or prolonged diarrhea. They can result in pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements. While they are often temporary and can heal with proper care, persistent fissures may require medical treatment. Maintaining a high-fiber diet, staying hydrated, and practicing good bowel habits can help prevent anal fissures. If symptoms persist, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate management and guidance.
