Understanding the Condition
What is Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. It is one of the most common anorectal conditions and causes intense, sharp pain during bowel movements, often followed by a burning sensation lasting 30 minutes to several hours. Bright red blood may appear on toilet paper or in the bowl.
Chronic fissures develop a vicious cycle: pain causes sphincter spasm, which reduces blood supply to the tear, preventing healing. Lateral internal sphincterotomy breaks this cycle by reducing sphincter tension, restoring blood flow, and allowing definitive healing.
When to seek treatment
- Sharp pain during and after passing stool, lasting minutes to hours
- Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl
- Painful spasm making bowel movements dreaded
- Fissure persisting beyond 6 weeks despite medical management
- Visible skin tag or sentinel pile at the anal margin

Your Fissure Treatment Journey
Discreet Consultation
Share symptoms privately with Care Partner. Specialist consultation arranged at a trusted hospital for examination and diagnosis.
Fissure Classification
Surgeon distinguishes acute from chronic fissure. Checks for associated sentinel pile or hypertrophied papilla. Spasm of internal sphincter confirmed.
Medical Trial (if acute)
Acute fissures are first treated with topical glyceryl trinitrate or calcium channel blocker ointments plus stool softeners. Surgery recommended for chronic cases.
Laser Lateral Sphincterotomy (15–30 min)
A precise incision in the internal anal sphincter relieves spasm and allows fissure healing. Laser technique ensures minimal blood loss and rapid recovery.
Same-Day Discharge
Most patients go home 3–4 hours after the procedure. Sitz baths, high-fibre diet, and oral medication guide recovery. Care Partner calls Day 3 and Day 10.
