Specialist Anal Fissures for Women in London
What Are Anal Fissure?
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by trauma during bowel movements. This condition can cause severe pain and bleeding, making it distressing for many women. At The Women Surgeons, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment tailored to each patient.
Why Cyst Diagnosis Can Be Delayed in Women
Symptoms such as mild pain, pressure, or swelling are often mistaken for other gynecological issues. Our specialists—trained in women’s health—offer precise assessment and tailored treatment options to avoid misdiagnosis or unnecessary delay in care.
Symptoms of Anal Fissures
Sharp, severe pain during and after bowel movements
Bright red blood on toilet tissue or stool
Visible tear in the anal lining
Treatment Options We Offer
Most fissures heal within a few weeks with conservative management. At The Women Surgeons, we offer a complete range of treatments:
Non-surgical treatments
- High-fibre diet and increased hydration
- Stool softeners to prevent straining
- Topical anaesthetic creams for pain relief
- Prescription ointments (nitrates or calcium channel blockers) to relax the sphincter and promote healing
Surgical treatments
When conservative methods are not effective, surgery may be recommended:
Advancement flap surgery – suitable for chronic fissures, repairing the tear with healthy tissue
Lateral internal sphincterotomy – a minimally invasive procedure to reduce sphincter pressure and allow healing
