Dr. Shamim Alig, with 15 years of experience, offers specialized care for individuals suffering from anal fissures at his clinic located at Shop No. 3, Asalpha Metro Station, Asalpha, Ghatkopar (west), Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Anal fissures are small tears in the lining of the anus that can cause severe pain, bleeding, and discomfort during and after bowel movements. They are often caused by constipation, straining during bowel movements, or passing hard stools.

At Dr. Shamim Alig's clinic, patients receive a comprehensive evaluation to accurately diagnose anal fissures. This includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and possibly a digital rectal exam. Dr. Alig understands the sensitivity of this condition and ensures a compassionate and respectful approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment for anal fissures is tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Initial treatments typically focus on relieving pain and promoting healing through non-surgical methods. These may include dietary changes to increase fiber intake, ensuring adequate hydration, and recommending stool softeners or laxatives to prevent constipation. Topical treatments such as anesthetic creams or ointments may be prescribed to reduce pain and discomfort.

In cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, Dr. Alig may recommend more advanced procedures such as botox injections to relax the anal muscles or surgical options like lateral internal sphincterotomy, which involves making a small cut in the anal sphincter muscle to relieve tension and allow the fissure to heal.

Dr. Shamim Alig is dedicated to providing effective and compassionate care to help patients overcome the pain and discomfort associated with anal fissures. By offering a range of treatment options and emphasizing patient education, Dr. Alig ensures that each patient receives personalized care aimed at long-term relief and improved quality of life.
