An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. It causes sharp pain during and after passing stool, and the pain can make the anal muscle spasm, which keeps the tear from healing.
Anal Ulcer
An anal ulcer is an open sore in the anal canal. Many are chronic fissures, but ulcers can also be caused by infections, inflammatory bowel disease or, rarely, cancer — so persistent ones should be examined.

Other treatments in this speciality
Laser Piles Surgery
Laser haemorrhoidoplasty uses a thin laser fibre to shrink piles from within by sealing the blood vessels that feed them. There is little or no external wound, so pain and recovery time are usually less than with conventional surgery.
Stapler Haemorrhoidopexy (MIPH)
Stapler haemorrhoidopexy uses a circular stapling device to lift prolapsing piles back into place and reduce their blood supply. Because the cut is made above the sensitive skin of the anus, it is usually less painful than conventional haemorrhoidectomy.
Haemorrhoidectomy
Haemorrhoidectomy is the surgical removal of piles. It has the lowest recurrence rate of piles treatments but usually involves more pain in the first weeks.
Rubber Band Ligation
A small rubber band is placed at the base of an internal pile to cut off its blood supply; the pile shrivels and falls off within about a week. It is a quick clinic procedure.
Laser Fissure Surgery
A laser is used to remove the unhealthy edges of a chronic fissure and any sentinel tag, encouraging healthy healing. It may be combined with sphincter relaxation.
Fistulotomy
The fistula tract is opened along its length so it heals from the inside out. It is the standard treatment for simple, low fistulas that involve little sphincter muscle.
