Anal fissures are a very painful condition when you have a bowel movement and even for some minutes, or longer, afterwards. Bright red blood is visible on the toilet paper. But condition is not dangerous. Fissures are small tears in the skin around the opening of the anus and are common in both adults and children. Because of the pain, children have a tendency to hold in a bowel movement rather than go to the bathroom. This can lead to a vicious cycle of constipation and anal fissures.
The main cause of anal fissures is constipation with the strain of passing hard stools or very large stools resulting in the small tears. If such constipation continues, it is very difficult for your fissures to heal. A change to good eating and other lifestyle habits, as well as home care and suitable anal fissure treatment, will ensure your fissures are easily healed.
