An anal fissure is the presences of tears in the mucosa that lines the anus. The condition may result to painful defecation, spasms at the end of the anus and bleeding.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome or medically referred as IBS is one of the most common disorders of the large intestines or colon. It is characterized by abdominal pain and discomfort, diarrhea and constipation, bloating, gas pain, and change in bowel characteristic and pattern. Despite its discomfort, Irritable Bowel Syndrome does not cause bowel tissue alteration and colorectal cancer. The cure for IBS is still unknown but doctors may prescribe medicines to alleviate the discomfort and recommend symptoms management through proper diet, probiotic intake, and therapies for mental and emotional health.

Anal fissures on the hand are caused by diarrhea and constipation which are the main symptoms of IBS. This means that patients suffering from IBS have a high risk of acquiring fissures as well.

## Renal and Anal Functions; Relationship Revealed

On the other hand, kidney stones are pebbles like objects that develops in one or both kidneys. This condition is often characterized by the presence of an intense pain in your lower abdominal area, back, sides and groin. Its symptoms also include hematuria or the presence of blood in urine, relentless need to urinate, pain during urination, inability to urinate, cloudy urine characteristic and manifestation of foul odorous urine. The pain is often self-limiting but its other symptoms may lead to infection thus seeing a doctor is important.

The renal and anal functions are related in some ways. When you have kidney stones, the tendency is you’ll experience overactive bladder function. Now, most OAB patients try to cope up with their condition by frequent liquid intake, minimal long distance travels and avoids sexual intercourse. These coping strategies lead to emotional imbalance, mental disparity and constipation which are the main causes of anal fissures making the two indirectly related to each other.

## Gas and Anal Fissures, are they co-related?

Gas is often associated with either voluntary or involuntary passing of gas, bloating, knotted sensation in your abdomen and intense prodding pain and cramps. This condition occurs when the bacteria present in the colon area ferments carbohydrates from undigested foods. Gas pain is caused by food intolerance, constipation, artificial additives intolerance, pre-existing health condition, excessive exposure and or air swallowing. Another common cause for gas pain is high fiber diet. Despite being a digestion metabolizer, excessive fiber in your colon may cause gas pain.

Constipation is one of the most common denominators of anal fissures and gas pain which means that patients suffering from gas pain are likely to develop fissures, after all, tears in the anus occur when constipated.

High fiber diet is another common denominator of the two conditions but the difference is that in anal fissures, you need to increase fiber intake but in gas pain condition, you need to minimize your fiber diet. The best thing to do to help manage the symptoms of both condition is to choose the best fiber sources that will not trigger gas pain.
