Piles or Fissure

Piles are mainly swollen blood vessels while fissures are kind of cracks and fistulas are an opening of a cavity. Piles are mostly painless and unnoticeable. Fissures cause a lot of pain. In the case of fistulas, pus is discharged out of the anal. Anal fissures are most commonly caused by damage to the lining of the anus or anal canal, the last part of the large intestine. Most cases occur in people who have constipation when a particularly hard or large poo tears the lining of the anal canal. Anal fissures can occur in anyone at any age. The chance of having an anal fissure decrease as people get older. People who have had fissures in the past are more likely to have them in the future. An anal fissure is a small cut or tears in the lining of the anus. The crack in the skin causes severe pain and some bright red bleeding during and after bowel movements.
