A fissure might sound like a small issue, but anyone who has experienced it knows how uncomfortable it can be. It often begins with a sharp pain during bowel movements, followed by a burning sensation that lingers longer than expected.
Unlike piles, fissures are small tears in the lining of the anal canal. And while they can heal on their own in some cases, chronic fissures require proper medical attention. Ignoring them can lead to persistent discomfort and delayed healing.
Dr Vipul Nandu takes a conservative-first approach, meaning treatment often begins with medication, dietary guidance, and lifestyle adjustments. Surgery is considered only when necessary. And even then, modern techniques ensure minimal discomfort and quicker recovery.
Jogeshwari’s fast-moving lifestyle sometimes leads to irregular eating habits and dehydration, both of which contribute to fissures. Small changes, like improving fibre intake and hydration, can make a big difference when combined with the right treatment.
