Fissure-in-ano is a painful condition characterized by a small tear in the lining of the anus, often causing pain, a burning sensation, and difficulty while passing stool. It is commonly associated with hard stools and straining.

A 62-year-old male from Mumbai, Mr. P. R. (Patient ID: 49266), visited Life Force Homeopathy’s Kemp’s Corner clinic on 17th September 2022 for the treatment of a fissure-in-ano. He had been suffering for one month with complaints of pain and burning in the anal region after passing stool. There was no bleeding or mucus discharge, but his stools were very hard, requiring significant straining.
