Anal Fissure

Anorectal

Are You Experiencing These Symptoms?

  • Pain during bowel movements
  • Bright red blood on toilet paper
  • Pain that continues after defecation
  • Symptoms following constipation
  • Recurrent anal fissures

An anal fissure is a small tear in the skin or lining of the anal canal.

In traditional East Asian medicine, anorectal disorders may be associated with broader patterns affecting the body’s overall condition.

The anal region is considered closely related to digestive and respiratory function within traditional medical theory.

At our clinic, we carefully evaluate the characteristics of bleeding and pain, including when symptoms occur during bowel movements.

The timing, amount, and appearance of bleeding can help distinguish anal fissures from other conditions.

Simple anal fissures often have a favorable prognosis and may improve with appropriate treatment and lifestyle adjustments.

Treatment focuses not only on the local symptoms but also on the overall balance and condition of the body.
