An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, usually caused by passing a hard or large stool. Acute fissures heal with diet changes; chronic fissures need a 20-minute laser procedure that delivers immediate, lasting pain relief.
Sharp pain during and after passing stool · Bright-red bleeding on the toilet paper or stool · Visible crack or skin tag near the anal opening · Burning sensation that lasts hours after a bowel movement
A physical examination by the proctologist confirms most fissures. No invasive tests are required for acute cases. Chronic fissures may need anoscopy.
Laser Sphincterotomy — controlled laser energy relaxes the internal sphincter, allowing the fissure to heal. 20–30 minutes, daycare, no cuts or stitches. Most patients return to work within 2–3 days.
Daycare laser procedure for chronic fissure.
