Laser Fissure Surgery in Pune
Fissure or Fissure-in-ano is a common anorectal condition that affects the area around the anus called the mucosa. It is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue lining the anus. The most common causes of an anal fissure are constipation and straining or passing hard or large stools. In most cases, anal fissures will cause pain and bleeding when bowel movements are performed. In addition, you may experience spasms in the anal sphincter, the ring of muscle at the end of your anus. The Vithai Piles Hospital in Pune offers specialized laser treatment for anal fissure to treat this condition safely and effectively. People of all ages can experience anal fissures, even new-borns.
