When there is a crack or a fissure in the anus, the
condition is referred to as anal fissures or rectal
fissures. When this happens it can cause a lot of itching,
pain and bleeding. The blood may be seen in the tissue
paper and even in the toilet seat.
Anal
fissures make it very difficult to pass stool and
the person may become wary due to the pain, and this
may lead to constipation, hemorrhoids and other medical
problems. The pain intensifies even more if the stool
is hard.
The cut usually happens in the anal canal tissues
known as anoderm that remain in the outer lining.
These tissues have sensory nerves and this is the
reason of this excruciating pain. Causes of anal fissures
include chronic diarrhea, constipation, anal intercourse,
ulcerative colitis, childbirth, and even an ultrasound
probe. Interestingly, some diseases can also lead
to anal fissures such as leukemia, tuberculosis and
also cancer.
