Laser Treatment for Anal Fissure in Mumbai

Painless laser sphincterotomy for chronic fissures — relief without traditional surgery.

What is Anal Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by passing hard stools. It causes sharp pain and bleeding, but is highly treatable with modern techniques.

Symptoms to watch for

Sharp, intense pain during stool
Bright red bleeding
Burning sensation after defecation
A visible tear or skin tag
Anal muscle spasm

Types & Stages

Acute

Less than 6 weeks — usually heals with medical management.

Chronic

Persistent beyond 6 weeks — best treated with laser sphincterotomy.

Common causes

  • Constipation and hard stools
  • Chronic diarrhoea
  • Childbirth trauma
  • Anal intercourse
  • Inflammatory bowel disease

Laser Treatment Approach

Laser sphincterotomy precisely releases the spasm-causing muscle fibre, allowing the fissure to heal — without the incontinence risks of traditional surgery.
