A member asked:
I have a chronical anal fissure that its symptoms appear once every several months and go away the same day. do i have to treat it surgically ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No...: Anal fissure usually is symptomatic for continuous periods of time. Episodic symptoms like you describe speak against the diagnosis. Perhaps you are experiencing periodic hemorrhoid flare-ups. Good luck!
