What Is an Anal Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear or crack in the skin of the anal canal, typically caused by straining, passing hard stools, or prolonged diarrhoea. Although small, fissures can be extremely painful and may become chronic if untreated.

FAQ’s

Where can I get private treatment for anal fissures in London?

Our anal fissure clinic in London offers same-day assessment and relief with expert colorectal specialists, including Botox treatment and advanced topical therapies.

What is the fastest way to heal an anal fissure?

Early fissures may heal with prescription ointments (GTN, diltiazem). For chronic cases, we offer Botox injection under local anaesthetic at our London colorectal clinic, providing rapid pain relief and muscle relaxation.

Do I need surgery for an anal fissure?

Not always. Many patients improve with non-surgical treatments such as topical medication, Botox, and bowel management. Surgery (e.g. lateral internal sphincterotomy) is reserved for persistent cases and can be arranged via our surgical partners.

Is Botox a safe treatment for anal fissures?

Yes. Botox for anal fissures is a well-established treatment with a high success rate. It works by temporarily relaxing the internal anal sphincter, improving blood flow and allowing healing. The procedure is quick and typically done under local anaesthetic.

Can you treat chronic fissures that haven’t healed with creams?

Absolutely. Chronic fissures that haven’t responded to standard treatment are ideal candidates for Botox or further assessment at our private anal fissure clinic in London.

Do I need a referral to see a colorectal specialist?

No referral is needed. You can book directly with our private colorectal clinic in London for fissure treatment and specialist advice.

Will the treatment be painful?

Our treatments are designed to minimise discomfort. Most procedures, including Botox injection, are performed under local anaesthetic, allowing you to go home the same day.
