If you’ve ever experienced sharp pain, burning, or bleeding while passing stool, you might be dealing with an anal fissure- a small tear or cut in the lining of the anal canal.

What is an Anal Fissure?
It’s a small crack in the skin of the anal area, usually caused by passing hard stools or straining during bowel movements. This tear causes a spasm or contraction of the anal muscles, making the area very tight and increasing the pain even further.

The common symptoms include:

🔹 Sharp pain during or after passing stool
🔹 Fresh red blood on toilet paper or in the pan
🔹 A burning sensation
🔹 Inflammation or swelling in the anal area

The Main Culprit? Constipation.
When you’re constipated, the stools become hard and dry- leading to straining. This repeated pressure damages the sensitive lining of the anus.
And guess what leads to constipation?

🔹 Low fiber diet
🔹 Dehydration
🔹 Lack of physical activity
🔹 Ignoring the urge to go
🔹 Recent history of travel

A doctor can easily diagnose an anal fissure through a gentle examination. No fancy tests are needed- just a quick check and your symptoms can tell the full story.

In the next video, we’ll talk about treatment options – from dietary changes to medications and more advanced procedures.
