what's the difference in symptoms between anal fissure and anal cancer?

Answer 1

An anal fissure is a small split or tear in the anal mucosa(tissue around it) that may cause painful bowel movements and bleeding. There may be blood on the outside of the stool or on the toilet tissue following a bowel movement. This can happen by passing a large stool or having alot of diarrhea. This can be treated well and usually do heal.

Anal cancer is when cancerous cells are present and are causing damage to that area, they need to be treated and killed, surgery may need to happen to give the bowel a rest or change the route of which stool is passed. It is alot more serious.

Please Speak to a doctor soon if you have concerns. treatment is available for everything these days and sometimes we worry ourselves for nothing. xx
