Anal Fissure Treatment in Kolkata

A sharp pain during bowel movements that lingers for hours. A visible tear. Bright red bleeding. If these signs sound familiar, you could be dealing with an anal fissure, a small but painful crack in the skin lining the anus.

Anal fissures may seem minor, but the pain can feel worse. If you’ve been living with persistent discomfort, it’s time to get it checked by Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta, a trusted anal fissure doctor in Kolkata. He offers compassionate surgical care to help you heal comfortably.

What is an Anal Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin tissue around the anal canal. It often develops due to trauma, usually from passing hard stools, but can also result from chronic diarrhoea, constipation, or excessive straining.

Most acute fissures heal within a few weeks, but if ignored, they can become chronic and cause repeated pain and spasms.

Anal Fissure Treatment

Treatment for anal fissures usually starts with diet changes, stool softeners, warm sitz baths, and medicated creams to reduce pain and support healing.

If symptoms persist for over 6–8 weeks, a minor surgery called Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy may be advised. This procedure reduces muscle tension, helps the fissure heal, and is typically safe and effective, with minimal risk of complications.

Anal fissures are painful but treatable. Don’t suffer in silence. Book a consultation with Dr. Ranajoy Dutta, a specialised anal fissure surgeon in Kolkata, today and begin your recovery with expert care.
