Anal Fissure (torn Rectum) - Causes And Treatment Options At MedicineNet.com
An anal fissure is a fairly common, painful condition in which the lining of the anal canal is torn.
http://www.medicinenet.com/anal_fissure/article.htm

Extractions: Medical Editor: Jay W. Marks, MD What are anal fissures? An anal fissure is a cut or tear that occurs in the anus (the opening through which stool passes out of the body) and extends upwards into the anal canal. Fissures are a common condition of the anus and anal canal and are responsible for 6-15% of the visits to a colonic and rectal (colorectal) surgeon. They affect men and women equally and both the young and the old. Anal fissure is the most common cause of rectal bleeding in infancy. Fissures usually cause pain during bowel movements that often is severe. Anal fissures occur in the specialized tissue that lines the anus and anal canal, called anoderm. At a line just inside the anusreferred to as the anal verge or intersphincteric groovethe skin (dermis) of the inner buttocks changes to anoderm. Unlike skin, anoderm has no hairs, sweat glands, or sebaceous (oil) glands and contains a larger number of somatic sensory nerves that sense light touch and pain. (The abundance of nerves explains why anal fissures are so painful.) The hairless, gland-less, extremely sensitive anoderm continues for the entire length of the anal canal until it meets the demarcating line for the rectum, called the dentate line. (The rectum is the distal 15 cm of the colon that lies just above the anus and rectum and just below the

Extractions: Anal Fissure, Abscess and Fistula The intestinal tract (or bowel) ends with the rectum. The last part of the rectum is a section about 1 1/2 inches long, known as the anal canal. It ends with the anus the opening to the outside of the body. There are several common problems, including hemorrhoids, that can occur in the area from the rectum to the anus. While almost everyone has heard of hemorrhoids, the other conditions are not so well known. Anal Fissure Most people have experienced a tear or fissure at the corner of the mouth that can occur in cold weather or when yawning. Similarly, an anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, frequently caused by constipation. A hard, dry bowel movement results in a break in the tissue. However, fissures can also occur with severe bouts of diarrhea or inflammation. This results in the anus becoming dry and irritated, causing it to tear. Injury to the anal area during childbirth and abuse of laxatives may be other causes. A fissure can be quite painful during and immediately following bowel movements. This is because the anus and anal canal are ringed with muscles to control the passage of stool and to keep the anus tightly closed at other times. When those muscles expand, it stretches the fissure open. There may also be bleeding or itching with an anal fissure.

http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/health-info/dis-cond/misc/analfissure.html

Extractions: An anal fissure is a tear in the lining of the anal opening. Almost always the tear results from a combination of two factors: irregular bowel patterns (either hard or liquid stools) and increased anal sphincter tone (usually associated with stress). When hard stools pass through a tight anal opening, a laceration may occur and that is referred to as a fissure. Fissures can also be caused by anal trauma, laxative abuse, childbirth trauma, or laceration by a foreign object. Fissures are not cancerous. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF AN ANAL FISSURE?

Extractions: What is an anal fissure? An anal fissure is a common disorder which affects any age group. An anal fissure is a benign superficial ulcer in the anal canal. It is usually about 1cm long and at its lower end there may be a tag of swollen skin. This tag is called a sentinal pile. Sentinal, because it guards the fissure. Primary fissures may be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (persistent symptoms of more than a few weeks).

http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23068676/

Extractions: What is an anal fissure? An anal fissure is a small tear of the skin of the anus. Although the tear is small, it can be very painful because the anus is very sensitive. The pain tends to be worse when you pass faeces (sometimes called stools or motions) and for an hour or so after passing faeces. Often an anal fissure will bleed a little. You may notice blood after you pass faeces. The blood is usually bright red, stains the toilet tissue, but soon stops. Anal fissures are common in both adults and children. They are not usually serious, but they are sore and can be distressing, particularly for children. What causes an anal fissure? Common causes Most anal fissures are thought to be due to passing a large or hard stool when you are constipated. The rim of the anus may stretch and tear slightly. Spasm (tightening) of the muscle around the anus (the sphincter) may play a part in causing the tear, or in slowing down the healing process. (If the muscle around the anus is tight, the blood supply to the anus is reduced. This may affect how well the tear heals.) In about 1 in 10 cases, the fissure occurs during childbirth. Sometimes an anal fissure occurs if you have bad diarrhoea.

Extractions: What is an anal fissure and a chronic anal fissure? An anal fissure is a small tear of the skin of the anus. Although the tear is small, it can be very painful because the anus is very sensitive. The pain tends to be worse when you pass faeces (sometimes called stools or motions) and for an hour or so after passing faeces. Often an anal fissure will bleed a little. You may notice blood after you pass faeces. The blood is usually bright red, stains the toilet tissue, but soon stops. Anal fissures are common in both adults and children. They are not usually serious, but they are sore and can be distressing, particularly in children. In most cases the fissure heals within 1-2 weeks or so, just like any other small cut of the skin. Treatment at first aims to ease the pain and keep the faeces soft until it heals. See separate leaflet called 'Anal Fissure' for details of the initial treatment for an anal fissure. A fissure that lasts more than six weeks is called a chronic anal fissure. (Chronic means persistent.) What causes an anal fissure?

http://my.webmd.com/hw/digestive_problems/uf4765.asp

Extractions: Topic Overview An anal fissure is a tear in the lining of the lower rectum ( anus ) that causes pain during bowel movements. It is a common condition. Anal fissures do not lead to more serious conditions such as colon cancer. Most anal fissures heal with home treatment after a few days or weeks (acute anal fissures). Occasionally a fissure takes more than 6 weeks to heal (chronic anal fissure), in which case it usually requires medication to heal. Surgery may be necessary for fissures that don't heal with medication. Anal fissures affect people of all ages, particularly young and otherwise healthy people. They are equally common in men and women. Sometimes an anal fissure and a hemorrhoid develop at the same time.

http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/sta123266.asp

Extractions: An anal fissure is a narrow tear that extends from the muscles that control the anus (anal sphincters) up into the anal canal. These tears usually develop when anal tissue is damaged during a hard bowel movement or when higher-than-normal tension develops in the anal sphincters. Symptoms of an anal fissure include a sharp, stinging, or burning pain during a bowel movement. The pain, which can be severe, may last a few hours. You may also notice spots of bright red blood on toilet tissue. This blood is separate from the stool. Minor anal fissures can often be helped to heal by drinking more fluids, eating a high-fiber diet, allowing enough time for a bowel movement, and using stool softeners.

Prevention Definition: An anal fissure is a small split or tear in the anal mucosa that may cause painful bowel movements and bleeding. There may be blood on the outside of the stool or on the toilet tissue following a bowel movement. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Anal fissures are extremely common in young infants but may occur at any age. Studies suggest 80% of infants will have had an anal fissure by the end of the first year. Most fissures heal on their own and do not require treatment, aside from good diaper hygiene. However, some fissures may require medical treatment. The incidence of anal fissures decreases rapidly with age. Fissures are much less common among school-aged children than among infants. In adults, fissures may be caused by constipation , the passing of large, hard stools, or by prolonged diarrhea. In older adults, anal fissures may be caused by decreased blood flow to the area. Anal fissures are also common in women after childbirth and people with Crohn's disease
