# Complications of Fissure and Treatment by Dr. Karan R Rawat
### **Introduction**
An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by constipation, passing hard stools, or trauma. Though it may initially seem like a minor condition, if left untreated, fissures can lead to severe complications affecting a person’s quality of life. Dr. Karan R Rawat, the leading Gastroenterologist, Proctologist, and Laser Surgeon in Agra, offers expert and advanced treatment for anal fissures.

### **Common Complications of Untreated Fissures**
#### **1. Chronic Anal Fissure**
If an acute fissure persists for more than 6 weeks, it becomes chronic. Chronic fissures are more difficult to treat and often have scar tissue around the tear.
#### **2. Persistent Pain and Bleeding**
Severe pain during bowel movements and continuous bleeding are common in chronic fissures. This can lead to fear of defecation, worsening constipation and aggravating the condition.
#### **3. Sentinel Pile Formation**
A skin tag, called a sentinel pile, often develops near the fissure. This can cause discomfort and may require surgical removal.
#### **4. Infection and Abscess Formation**
The fissure can act as a gateway for infections, leading to the development of anal abscesses or fistulas, both of which require surgical intervention.
#### **5. Fistula in Ano**
A complex complication where an abnormal tunnel forms between the anal canal and the skin around the anus. Fistulas are challenging to treat and often necessitate advanced surgical procedures.
#### **6. Incontinence Issues**
In severe cases, untreated fissures can damage the anal sphincter muscles, leading to partial or complete loss of bowel control.
