• often anal fissures lead to irritability, apathy and insomnia due to persistent discomfort;
• due to pain, the patient may begin to avoid the process of cleansing the intestines, which will lead to intestinal disorders in the form of constipation;
• due to the retention of feces, it becomes harder and can further irritate the anal fissure and lead to new ones;
