by Market Overview:
Anal fissure is a small tear or cut in the skin of anal canal. It causes pain and bleeding during and after bowel movements. Anal fissures can occur due to constipation, straining during bowel movements, and other infections. Treatment options for anal fissure include topical nitroglycerin, calcium channel blockers, botulinum toxin injections, and surgery. Topical nitroglycerin acts as vasodilator to relax muscle fibers and sphincter to relieve pain during bowel movement. Calcium channel blockers work by blocking calcium channels to relax anal sphincter and reduce pressure in anal canal. Botulinum toxin injections temporarily paralyze muscles of internal anal sphincter to relieve pain and pressure. Surgery involves partial cutting or removal of internal anal sphincter for chronic fissures.

Also, companies in this market are focusing on educational campaigns to promote awareness and early diagnosis of anal fissures. This is expected to drive further growth of the anal fissure treatment market during the forecast period.
