Fissure treatment


Fissure treatment at Sayra Hospital & Piles Centre involves both medical and surgical approaches to ensure effective healing and pain relief. Anal fissures, which are small tears in the lining of the anus, can cause significant discomfort and bleeding.

Common Treatments for Anal Fissures

  1. Medications:

    • Topical Nitroglycerin: Helps to relax the anal sphincter and increase blood flow to promote healing.
    • Calcium Channel Blockers: Applied topically to relax sphincter muscles and reduce pain.
    • Stool Softeners: To prevent constipation and reduce strain during bowel movements.
    • Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter medications to alleviate pain and discomfort.
  2. Botox Injections:

    • Botulinum Toxin: Injected into the anal sphincter to temporarily paralyze the muscle, reducing spasms and promoting healing.
  3. Surgical Options:

    • Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy: A procedure where a small portion of the anal sphincter muscle is cut to reduce tension and allow the fissure to heal.
  4. Lifestyle and Home Remedies:

    • High-Fiber Diet: Consuming more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to soften stools.
    • Increased Hydration: Drinking plenty of water to prevent hard stools.
    • Sitz Baths: Soaking the anal area in warm water to relieve pain and promote healing.

Advantages of Advanced Treatments

  • Minimally Invasive: Reduced pain and quicker recovery times.
  • Effective Relief: High success rates in healing chronic fissures.
  • Holistic Approach: Comprehensive care addressing both symptoms and causes.
