Fissure in Ano (Parikartika)

Details
It is a tear or a crack in the skin lined part of the anal canal. It usually found in young and middle age people but some times even in children. Though a small crack, but its a very pain . In ayurveda its called as Parikartika that mean a cutting like pain.

Cause

The causes of fissure are not very clear but it may be due to chrons, Ulcerative colitis, Tuberculosis, Growths etc. The other main possible region could be trauma to the area due to passage of unusually hard stool.

Spasm in the anal sphincter and ischemia (insufficient blood supply to the area )may be the helping factors in the development of fissure and also in preventing the healing process.
