Effective treatment & remedies for Fissure in ano
Fissure-in-ano is a longitudinal crack or slit (ulcer) in the skin
(muco cutaneous) of anus. If the skin lining of the lower end of the
anus gets scratched, it may break up into a fissure. Fissure-in-ano
is observed in children as well as in adults; however, it is more
common amongst middle-aged adults.
Causes:
In anal fissures, anus distal to dentate line is involved. About 90%
of anal fissures occur in the posterior midline where skeletal
muscle fibers that circle the anus are weakest. The remaining 10%
are found in the anterior midline.
An anterior fissure is more likely to develop in women (25%) than
in men (8%).
The posterior midline of the anus is the most common location for
fissure due to low supply of blood in this area. Rarely, it can be
present on the other areas, such as sides of the anus rather than
posterior midline position. Such fissure may be the manifestation
of underlying disease e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis etc.
This can be aggravated by faulty diet, faulty bowel habits, less
water consumption and constipation.
