how long does it take to heal an anal fissure with surgery or other treatments i'm really worried about the recovery time and which option works faster
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Anal fissure healing time varies, but complete healing can take 6-12 weeks with either medical or surgical treatments. Surgical options like lateral internal sphincterotomy can offer faster healing, potentially allowing some to return to work within a week or two. However, complete healing with surgery still takes about 6 weeks

I'm 50 and have a small fissure but the pain is unbearable. I've been taking painkillers for 2 days and sitting in hot water but nothing helps. Should I consider surgery at this point and if so, what would the cost be?
While surgery for an anal fissure is an option, it's usually not the first course of action, especially for a small fissure. Most fissures heal with conservative treatments like dietary changes and topical medications. If pain is unbearable and persists despite two days of pain medication and sitz baths, it's advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and guidance. The cost of surgery in India can vary, but generally ranges from ‚Çπ35,000 to ‚Çπ50,000
