Introduction

A "Fissure" is a small cut or a tear. Now an "Anal Fissure" is essentially a cut or a tear seen in the lining of the anus.

The causes for anal fissures may be:

• Passing of hard and large stools, chronic constipation or even diarrhea.
• IFB or Inflammatory Bowel Disease is, essentially, a chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and can include the mouth and anus and everything in between.
• An overly tight anal sphincter can cause the blockage of feces. This causes the stool and the skin of the anus to rub against each while passing. Hence the skin tears or cuts due to the friction formed between the two.

Laser treatment for Anal Fissure is the most effective cure for fissure. In case of initial stages of the disease, normal medication and home remedies do not improve the condition. The patient should waste no more time and see a doctor instantly.
