Anal fisssure: Anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of anus causes severe pain and some bright red bleeding during and after bowel movements.
In most cases the tear heals in 4-6 weeks on its own.
If it persists despite RX may require surgery.
Other Rx
Keep stools soft
Increase Fiber 25-35 gms/day
Plenty of fluids
Sometimes may need to add NTG gel, Nifedepine gel , and topical lidocaine
