Anal Ulcer: Causes, Symptoms and Homeopathic Treatment

An anal fissure happens to be a small tear in the thin, moist tissue (mucosa) that actually lines up the anus. 90% of fissures are indeed formed along the posterior midline of one’s anal canal.

It may also occur when one does pass hard or large stools during one’s bowel movement.

The anal fissure may, in fact, be noticed by bright red blood that does appear on the surface of the stool. In acute condition, they do cause severe pain after passing one’s stools.

Causes of Anal Ulcer:

The most common cause of the fissure in the anus is CONSTIPATION. Chronic constipation on account of several reasons (such as habitual, drug-induced, pregnancy and so on) does lead to recurring abrasion or forceful rubbing of the anal mucosa, which tends to lead to a fissure.

• Spasm of the internal sphincter has indeed also been incriminated to cause anal fissure/fissures.

• When there is too much skin that has been removed during an operation for hemorrhoids (piles), anal stenosis can result, on account of which an anal fissure or rather fissures tend to develop when a hard stool is passed through such a stricture.

Less common causes of Anal Ulcer are:

• The aftermath of bouts of diarrhea or following passage of bulky stools rather very quickly that too among children.
• Multiple pregnancies.
• Chronic usage of laxatives.
• Rarely, a fissure may be the manifestation of underlying diseases such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, sexually transmitted diseases, cancer and so forth.
• Surgery for piles (hemorrhoids) is done imperfectly.

Symptoms of Anal Ulcer:

• Pain during defecation
• Constipation
• Dull aching pain after one passes stools.
• Severe spasm of the anal sphincter
• Blood streaks on one’s stool
• Discharge, swelling and pruritus ani (anal itching) occur, especially with chronic fissures
• Chronic as well as the deep nonhealing fissure.
• Recurrence of the fissure.
• Persistent discomfort and pain.
• Skin tag around the anus.

Among whom are they common?

• Anal fissures are indeed very common in young infants but also can affect people of any age.
