Causes, incidence, and risk factors of Anal Fissure or Fissure in Ano:
Anal fissures are extremely common in young infants but may occur at any age. Studies suggest 80% of infants will have had an anal fissure by the end of the first year.
They are equally common in men and women. Sometimes an anal fissure and hemorrhoid develop at the same time. The incidence of anal fissures decreases rapidly with age. Fissures are much less common among school-aged children than among infants.
Anal fissures are caused by vigorous stretching of the anal canal:
A fissure may develop if one is constipated and try to pass a large, hard stool. Sometimes after repeated diarrhea results in the formation of anal fissure. Many experts believe the most common cause is excessive tension in the two muscular rings (sphincters) controlling the anus.
The external anal sphincter is under ones conscious control.
However, the internal anal sphincter is not under ones control. This muscle remains under pressure, or tension, all the time. A fissure may develop if the internal sphincter’s resting pressure becomes too high, causing spasm and reducing blood flow to the anus. In older adults, anal fissures may caused by decreased blood flow to the area.
Trauma also can cause fissures:
During childbirth, 11% of women develop anal fissures. In addition, fissures can cause by digital insertion (as during an examination), foreign body insertion, or anal intercourse.
In some cases, an anal fissure caused by Crohn’s disease, (an inflammatory bowel disease that causes bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, and fissures or fistulas near the anus).
A low-fiber diet may play a role in the development of fissures:
Most fissures heal by themselves and do not require treatment, aside from good diaper hygiene. However, some fissures may require medical treatment. Taking a fiber-rich diet will produce easy and regular bowel movements. As a result, reduces the chance of anal fissure formation reduces.
Symptoms Of Anal Fissure:
- An anal fissure causes a sharp, stinging, or burning pain during a bowel movement. The pain, which can be severe, may last for a few hours.
- Constipation, often with painful bowel movements
- Blood on the surface of stool (not mixed in with stool)
- Blood on toilet tissue or wipes
- A crack in the skin that is visible when the anus is stretched slightly (the fissure is almost always in the midline)
- Fissures may itch. They often bleed lightly or cause a yellowish discharge.
Blood mixed with stool indicates some other condition, possibly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or colon cancer.
Occasionally an anal fissure may be a painless wound that will not heal and that bleeds intermittently but causes no other symptoms.
Health professionals can diagnose an anal fissure from symptoms and by looking at the anus. However, the fissure will visible by gently Separating the buttocks.
Most fissures occur along the midline—the top or bottom—of the anus.
Examination of Fissure in Ano:
Use a gloved finger (digital rectal examination) or a lighted instrument (anoscope) to examine the fissure. However, if the fissure is extremely painful, one has to wait until it has begun to heal before performing a rectal exam or using an anoscope (anoscopy) to rule out other problems. In this case, topical anesthetic should used if an immediate examination is necessary. During an exam, one can also determine whether another condition may be causing the fissure.
Differential diagnosis of Fissure in Anus:
If there, are several fissures or has one or more in an area of the anus where fissures usually do not occur then look for another condition such as
- IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease)
- Syphilis,
- A suppressed immune system,
- Tuberculosis
- HIV infection

Most acute fissures need some home treatment, including
