Anal Fissure Laser Treatment In Chennai at Hande Hospital
At Hande Hospital, anal fissure treatment in Chennai is provided by the Laser Sphincterotomy procedure. We may also do a Maximal Anal Dilatation along with Laser Sphincterotomy. This treatment approach involves no scar, no stitches, and the patient can get back to work as early as one or two days after the treatment.
Sometimes, the fissure may be accompanied by a sentinel pile, which is also treated simultaneously. At other times, a fissure may be associated with haemorrhoids and rarely also with fistula-in-ano. We make sure all these are taken care of during the laser treatment for fissures in Chennai.
Laser Sphincterotomy is performed under anaesthesia and the patient can be discharged the same day or the next day. Due to these advantages, laser treatment is preferred in general over other methods of fissure surgery in Chennai.
What is an Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue that lines the anus. The anus is the muscular opening at the end of the digestive tract where stool exits the body. When there is a tear or cut in the anal skin, the underlying circular muscle called sphincter goes into a spasm and further exacerbates the condition, forming a vicious cycle of pain and more spasm.
Anal fissures typically cause pain and bleeding with bowel movements. You also may experience spasms in the ring of muscle at the end of your anus, called the anal sphincter.
Most anal fissures get better with simple treatments, such as increased fibre intake or soaking in a warm water bath. Some people with anal fissures may need medicine or, occasionally, surgery.
Causes Of Anal Fissure
Common causes of an anal fissure include constipation and straining or passing hard or large stools during a bowel movement. This usually is caused by not taking enough fluids (water) and not having adequate fibre in your diet.
Symptoms Of Anal Fissures
Symptoms of an anal fissure include:
- Pain during bowel movements
- Pain after bowel movements that can last up to several hours
- Bright red blood on the stool or toilet paper after a bowel movement
- A visible crack in the skin around the anus
- A small lump or skin tag on the skin near the anal fissure.
Complications Of Anal Fissures
Complications of an anal fissure may include:
Failure to heal: An anal fissure that fails to heal within eight weeks is considered chronic and may need further treatment.
Recurrence: Once you’ve experienced an anal fissure, you are prone to having another one.
A tear that extends to surrounding muscles: An anal fissure may extend into the ring of muscle that holds your anus closed. This muscle is called the internal anal sphincter. If this happens, it makes it more difficult for your anal fissure to heal. An unhealed fissure may trigger a cycle of discomfort that may require medicines or surgery to reduce the pain and repair or remove the fissure.
Prevention Of Anal Fissures
You may be able to prevent an anal fissure by:
- Eating food rich in fibre
- Increasing your intake of fluids
- Exercising regularly
- Not straining during bowel movements.
