Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to what patients ask most
Can anal fissures heal without surgery?
Yes. Most acute fissures (under 6 weeks) heal with a high-fibre diet, sitz baths, topical creams and stool softeners. Surgery is reserved for chronic or recurrent fissures.
Is laser fissure surgery painful?
No. Laser sphincterotomy is performed under short anaesthesia and most patients report immediate relief of the spasm and tearing pain on the very first day.
How long is the recovery after fissure surgery?
Most patients return to office work within 1–2 days. Complete tissue healing takes 2–4 weeks with proper diet.
Will fissure surgery affect bowel control?
Modern laser sphincterotomy is highly precise and preserves the external sphincter, so the risk of incontinence is negligible.
Why does my fissure keep coming back?
Recurrence is usually due to ongoing constipation, low fibre intake or untreated internal sphincter spasm. Our protocol addresses all three.
