Fissure Surgery Myths You Probably Still Believe

Let’s face it the word “surgery” itself sounds scary, especially when it involves your private parts. That’s probably why so many people live with the agony of anal fissures for months or even years. But here’s the truth bomb: most of what you’ve heard about fissure surgery is outdated, exaggerated, or just plain wrong. Laser technology has revolutionized this treatment, yet the old myths still hang around like a bad habit. So let’s bust some of those myths today because your health deserves facts, not fear.

Myth 1: "Fissure surgery is extremely painful." Wrong! The truth is, with laser fissure surgery, the pain is minimal both during and after the procedure. You’ll be under anesthesia during surgery, and the laser’s precision means there’s far less trauma to your body. Many patients at Sahaj Hospital in Indore say they feel relief just hours after the procedure. So if you’re picturing weeks of unbearable post-op pain think again!

Myth 2: "I’ll need to be admitted to the hospital for days." Nope! This isn’t some old-school operation where you’re stuck in a hospital bed with giant bandages and IVs. Laser fissure treatment is a quick day-care procedure meaning you walk in, get it done, and walk out the same day. You can even go back to work in just a couple of days. Sahaj Hospital performs these every week no drama, no hospital blues.

Myth 3: "The fissure will come back anyway." Not true if you follow post-surgery care properly. Most people who experience recurrence didn’t fix the habits that caused the fissure in the first place. The surgery deals with the physical problem, and the rest is about staying hydrated, eating right, and avoiding strain. Plus, Sahaj Hospital gives you a complete aftercare plan. So, is it really the surgery that fails or the aftercare?

Myth 4: "It’s embarrassing to talk about." Okay, let’s be real what’s more embarrassing? A five-minute conversation with your doctor or screaming in pain every morning for months? Fissures are more common than you think, especially among working professionals, new moms, and gym-goers. There’s zero shame in fixing a real medical issue. It’s just like getting your tooth fixed — only it’s your bottom, not your mouth.

Myth 5: "I’ll lose control of my bowels." That’s an old, outdated fear from traditional open surgeries. Laser fissure surgery is done with such precision that it doesn’t damage your nerves or muscles. You’re not going to be walking around with adult diapers, okay? In fact, you’ll be more in control because you won’t be dreading every toilet trip anymore.

Myth 6: "I’m too young for fissures." Not true at all! Anal fissures can happen to anyone teens, athletes, pregnant women, software engineers, the list goes on. A bad diet, dehydration, long sitting hours all can trigger fissures. So if you’ve been brushing it off thinking “this can’t happen to me,” you might be delaying the relief you deserve. Isn’t it better to be informed and ready?

So, now that we’ve busted the most common myths about fissure surgery, what’s stopping you from moving forward? Is it fear, misinformation, or just procrastination? If pain, bleeding, or fear of the toilet is becoming a daily part of your life, then maybe it’s time to rethink your options. Because in the end, wouldn’t you rather heal than hide?
