Hi doctor,
I have anal fissure, although the stool is not big. Previously (7 - 8 years), I had internal hemorrhoids removed. So the doctor told me how to treat anal fissure? I thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How is anal fissure treated? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Anal fissure is a condition in which there is a tear in the mucosa, skin of the anal canal causing pain, usually occurs after trying to push hard stools or due to increased spasm of the anal sphincter. This is one of the typical pathologies that often cause anal burning pain and bleeding during bowel movements.
When changing the lifestyle such as avoiding constipation but the symptoms do not improve, it is necessary to see a gastroenterologist. Treatment starts with drugs and adjustment of lifestyle, if symptoms do not reduce and affect daily activities, surgery should be consulted.
You can visit and consult a gastroenterologist at Vinmec hospital.
If you still have questions about anal fissures, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
