Question 1

i am prone to getting anal fissures. can lifting weights cause an anal fissure? max amount lifting is 50 pounds (25 each side).

Accepted Answer

Not really: constipation with hard and big sized stool and trauma to the anal area are the main reasons

Question 2

can anal fissures cause extra skin growths around anal area i've had anal fissure problems before this is the first time i noticed skin growths ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A chronic fissure will often develop a "sentinel tag"  at the base of the fissure.  If you have growths elsewhere it may be unrelated to the fissure.

Question 3

i recently noticed anal fissure. do not engage in anal sex, i heard hpv can be a reason for the fissures. can hpv of the cervix cause the anal fissure?

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't think so: Anal fissures are common &amp; usually reflect hard or bulky stools or stools that pass too fast. HPV is a site specific germ &amp; if there is no anal sex (which can cause fissures) there is little reason to expect HPV would be there.

Question 4

i was checked out by my doctor and she said i have an anal fissure. my question is, do anal fissures bleed a lot? and do they cause blood clots?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are a lot of qualitative terms in your question. 

Anal fissures normall cause bleeding that you see on the toilet paper or toilet bowl. A small drop of blood in a large bowl of water can seem like a lot of blood. 

Depends on how you are rating what a lot of blood is, when and where you are seeing it and other symptoms.  

Blood clots are not typical for a fissure, but possible.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes: Fissures can cause pain, swelling , inflammation and cause infection. I would see a doctor if your pain is severe. Good luck

Question 6

does an anal fissure puff up and cause discomfort outside of the rectal opening?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Unless it has become infected and an abscess has developed or if there is an associated hemorrhoidal involvement. Best to be examined by a colorectal surgeon promptly.

Question 7

i have an anal fissure its getting worst cause i always scratch it.is there anything beside topic drugs to treat or remove it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Topical agents and modifying your diet to iclude high fiber and 80-100 ounces noncaffenated fluids per day. If all else fails, corrective surgery can be done and if done by a qualified colorectal surgeon poses minimal risk and excellent results.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Not much but needle : It will be painful but it depends.They use a very fine needle and that reduces the pain compared to bigger needle, but there will be pain.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Can happen: This is not common, but can happen. Make sure your keep a high fiber diet.  Warm tub baths will help.  Most of the time these resolve  quickly.

Question 10

i recovered/healed from anal fissure last year (august) since then i don't drive motorbike. can motorbike driving cause anal fissure to re-occur? i'm very much terrified from this motorbike driving, thinking it may cause anal fissure again?

Accepted Answer

: Anal fissures are caused by the rapid passage of hard stool which can stretch the anal ring farther than normal and cause small tears. They can also be caused by sexual penetration into the anus. While motorbike driving does not cause this condition, it can cause increased irritation in the area due to pressure and vibration.
