Friction or pressure (from prolonged sitting)
Poor hygiene
Excessive body hair
Family history

Types of A**l Fissures – And How They Are Treated

An a**l fissure is a tear in the lining of the a**l ca**l. It may be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-standing). Understanding the type is key to choosing the right treatment.

High-fiber diet & stool softeners for acute cases
Sitz baths & medicated ointments
