One day, he noticed blood in his stool and felt irritation and pain in his bowel movement.
He went to a doctor who examined his anus and told him that he had an anal fissure.
The doctor prescribed medicines for Paul and told him that if the fissure did not heal after two months he would need surgery.
Paul took the medicines regularly but his fissure did not get healed. He wanted to go for surgery but was afraid of pain and long recovery time.

How anal fissure is diagnosed?

There are also medications to paralyze the sphincter muscles which may get tightened up as a result of the fissure.

This procedure is effective but carries the risk of incontinence, i,e, uncontrolled bowel movement.
