Passing less than three stools per week or having trouble passing the stool are common indicators of constipation. A lot of people have constipation. Constipation can result from low dietary fibre and dehydration. Especially in summer, it’s important to drink more water than you need to in order to prevent constipation. Dehydration is a major cause of constipation and Anal fissures is readily brought on by extreme heat.
What happens when someone is constipated?
Constipation makes it harder and less frequent for a person to pass stool than usual. The following are complications of long-term constipation: hemorrhoids, or swollen tissues around the anus. Anal fissures are the term for the torn tissues of the anus. Fecal impaction is the term for hard stools that back up into the colon.
Anal Fissures
Tears or breaks in the anus are called anal fissures. Sometimes, fissures are mistaken for hemorrhoids. These are blood vessels inside or slightly outside the anus that are inflamed. Passing a hard stool can cause hemorrhoids and fissures.
The anal mucosa may extend beyond its natural range, resulting in fissures. This frequently occurs when constipation causes firm stools. Once a tear occurs, recurrent injuries result. The tear causes the exposed internal sphincter muscle to spasm. When there are bowel motions, the spasm causes more mucosal tearing. About 40% of individuals experience the development of a chronic anal fissure as a result of this cycle.
Symptoms
- Pain both during and following a bowel movement
- Visible cut or tear in the region
- Discomfort
- Bleeding during or after a bowel movement

Increasing Water Consumption
Constipation can be caused by dehydration, or not having enough water in the body. Stools may be made softer and easier to pass by drinking at least six liters of water each day during the summer.
Sitz Baths
Sitz baths are merely small plastic tubs. Put some warm water into a bathtub and thoroughly mix in a few drops of betadine liquid. Spend ten to twenty minutes in the tub sitting straight. Engage in sphincter action. Although it will not accelerate recovery, it can lessen anal fissure pain and discomfort.
Topical Treatments
Topical medications from the drugstore can help reduce pain from anal fissures and relax the perianal region.
Additionally, you might talk with your doctor about numbing cream, which can lessen the discomfort associated with bowel motions.
Laser lateral Sphincterotomy at Treatment Range Hospital
Laser lateral anal sphincterotomy offers the greatest healing rates and lowest recurrence rates.
The safest and most advanced method for treating anal fissures is laser therapy.
A laser is inserted by the surgeon into the anus’s natural orifice during this procedure. Next, he or she relocates it to the fissure’s site.
After that, a laser incision is made in the anal muscles, which loosens the sphincter muscles.
Furthermore, the patient gets cured as the fissure scar heals as well.
Due to its ability to lower the likelihood of the fissure opening again, this kind of surgery is also the most successful.
This treatment is not painless. With no wounds or bleeding involved, the patient can resume their usual activities after being discharged from the hospital within six hours. Bed rest is not necessary. Watch the video to gain further insight into this procedure. Consult our doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
