Anal fissures are a common disease among people, despite their age and gender. Piles are another very common disease – sometimes even more common than anal fissures – many people around the world suffer. Even though they are very similar diseases, sometimes caused by the same reasons, there is a difference between anal fissures and piles. Before learning their difference, you must understand what anal fissures are and why do they happen. These are the facts about fissures you should know:
-
Anal fissures are cuts in the anus that are caused by passing dry and hard stools.
-
Anal fissures cause a lot of pain because they take a lot of time to heal. They do not heal so easily because there is not enough blood running toward the fissures due to spasms in the sphincter.
-
There are many things that can cause anal fissures, for instance, constipation due to a diet low in fiber and water, stress or certain medications.
-
Women are prone to suffer anal fissures due to childbirth. The chances are always very high.
What are piles then?
-
Piles are swollen veins that got irritated due to the stretching of their walls.
-
Piles are widely known as hemorrhoids.
-
Piles cannot be always noticed. Internal piles can appear, and cannot be felt nor noticed. The only sign that can tell you are suffering piles is bleeding.
-
Besides constipation, piles can be caused due to genetics or lifting too heavy things.
What is then the difference between anal fissures and piles? Just as you read it, piles are swollen veins, while anal fissures are cuts that cannot heal due to lack of blood supply. It is important to know the difference to know the treatment that must be used.
