The Difference Between Hemorrhoids and Anal Fissures
Sometimes the symptoms of hemorrhoids cross over with that of anal fissures. Both can cause severe discomfort and can turn into a chronic condition.
A hemorrhoid will form when there is too much pressure on the veins leading up to the rectum. The swelling will form protrusions that can occur internally or externally.
An anal fissure is an actual tear at the opening of the anus. A fissure will usually clear up and fully heal. Although sometimes if the problem is not corrected the fissure could turn chronic. Once it is chronic it becomes difficult to deal with without surgery. It may even form a skin tag externally on the anus which may be confused with a hemorrhoid.
Both fissures and hemorrhoids tend to cause rectal bleeding. It is important to inform your doctor whenever you notice rectal bleeding. But it can also be noted that the bleeding associated with hemorrhoids and fissures is usually not much to worry about if that is the condition causing the bleeding. It will most likely heal quickly. As long as the blood is bright red in color that means that it is fresh blood and not coming from further up in the intestines.
Some of the hemorrhoid natural cures can also provide relief to the anal fissure sufferer. These include sitz baths and the natural astringent witch hazel.
