Fissure-in-ano is a small, oval shaped tear in skin (an anal fissure) that lines the opening of the anus. Fissures typically cause severe pain and bleeding with bowel movements. Those who get frequent anal fissures could be due to a hard, dry bowel movement or loose, frequent bowel movements. Patients with a tight anal sphincter muscle are more likely to develop anal fissures. Fissures are quite common in the general population, but are often confused with other causes of pain and bleeding, such as hemorrhoids.

Homeopathy not only treats and cures the acute anal fissure, it is able to cure the chronic form of anal fissures also. Since, anal fissures are caused due to improper bowel movement, homeopathic medicines also improve the digestive system along with curing the immediate symptoms of anal fissures. Homeopathic medicines also help in eradicating the tendency to have fissures. This means that recurrence of anal fissures is avoided.
