Anal Fissure Treatment in Johor Bahru

Fisur Dubur

An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the lining of the anus, typically caused by passing hard, dry stools. It causes sharp pain during and after bowel movements, often accompanied by small amounts of bright red blood on toilet paper. Anal fissures are very common and are often confused with haemorrhoids (piles). Most acute fissures heal within a few weeks with conservative treatment. Chronic fissures (lasting more than 6 weeks) may require more intensive treatment or minor procedures.

Symptoms of Anal Fissure

✓Sharp, cutting pain during or after bowel movements

✓Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the toilet

✓Burning or itching sensation at the anus after passing stool

✓A visible crack or small tear at the anal opening

✓Spasm of the anal sphincter

✓Fear of bowel movements due to anticipated pain

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor for any rectal bleeding to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions including haemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, or colorectal cancer. See a doctor if anal pain is severe, fissure is not healing within 4-6 weeks of conservative treatment, or if bleeding is significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have an anal fissure or piles (haemorrhoids)?▼

Anal fissures cause sharp cutting pain during and immediately after bowel movements with bright red blood. Haemorrhoids more typically cause a dull ache, bleeding, or a lump at the anus. A doctor can differentiate between the two on examination. Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah assess both conditions.

Will an anal fissure heal on its own?▼

Most acute fissures heal within 4-6 weeks with conservative treatment (high fibre diet, hydration, stool softeners, topical treatments). Chronic fissures are less likely to heal without medical intervention and may need prescription topical medication or minor surgery.
