Description

Anal fissures are small but painful tears in the lining of the anal canal, often caused by chronic constipation, hard stools, straining during bowel movements, or prolonged episodes of diarrhea. These fissures can cause discomfort, bleeding, and a burning sensation during or after bowel movements. Dr. Amilthan K, an experienced general and laparoscopic surgeon in Chennai, offers compassionate and effective care for patients suffering from this condition. His treatment approach usually begins with conservative, non-surgical methods, such as dietary modifications, fiber supplements, stool softeners, sitz baths, and topical medications that help reduce inflammation and promote healing. For patients who do not respond to these initial measures, Dr. Amilthan may recommend a surgical option such as lateral internal sphincterotomy a minimally invasive procedure that involves a controlled release of a portion of the anal sphincter muscle. This helps reduce pressure in the area, allowing the fissure to heal more effectively and providing long-term relief. Known for his patient-friendly approach, Dr. Amilthan ensures every individual receives clear guidance, a stress free experience, and care tailored to their specific needs from diagnosis to complete recovery.
