Anal Fissure

If you're experiencing pain, bleeding or discomfort during or after passing a bowel movement, book a private face-to-face consultation with one of our qualified Prescribing Pharmacists. During your consultation, we'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, bowel habits and any previous treatments to determine whether your symptoms are consistent with an anal fissure or another underlying condition. Where clinically appropriate, we'll recommend or prescribe treatment to promote healing, relieve pain and reduce the risk of recurrence. If your symptoms require further investigation, we'll arrange referral to the appropriate healthcare service.

Anal Fissure

An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus that can cause pain, discomfort, and bleeding during or after passing stools. It is commonly caused by constipation, hard stools, straining, or ongoing diarrhoea.

Symptoms may include sharp pain, itching, and small amounts of bright red blood. At our clinic, we provide confidential assessment, advice, and treatment to help relieve symptoms and support healing.

Treatment may include creams or ointments, pain relief, stool softeners, and lifestyle advice such as increasing fibre and fluid intake. Early treatment can help prevent the condition from becoming long term.
