Anal fissures can develop in people of any age group but are predominantly identified in the pediatric and middle-aged populations. Approximately 250,000 new cases are estimated to be diagnosed with anal fissures in the United States each year, with equal prevalence in both genders.

Anal Fissure Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

The “Anal Fissure Epidemiology Forecast Report 2025-2034” offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of anal fissure. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of anal fissures across various populations. The study covers age and type as major determinants of the anal fissure-affected population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of anal fissures over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the disease, as well as historical and projected data on the epidemiology of anal fissures in the 8 major markets.

Regions Covered

  • The United States
  • Germany
  • France
  • Italy
  • Spain
  • The United Kingdom

Anal Fissure: Disease Overview

An anal fissure is a tear or crack in the lining of the anal canal. Chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, obstructed defecation syndrome, penetration, and childbirth are some of the primary causes of anal fissures. If left untreated, anal fissures can cause complications like anal stenosis, fecal impaction, and anal fistula. Studies show that most anal fissures take a few days to weeks to heal properly. However, a chronic anal fissure can persist for more than eight weeks.

Anal Fissure: Treatment Overview

Acute anal fissures are transient and usually don’t need any treatment besides self-care. Prescription cream like lidocaine is commonly used for temporary pain relief. For chronic anal fissures, treatment is focused on relaxing the anal sphincter muscles. Nitroglycerin ointment is applied as a cream and helps in relaxing the anal sphincter. Calcium channel blockers, such as nifedipine or diltiazem, are an alternative option that can be used if nitroglycerin doesn’t work.

Epidemiology

The anal fissure epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. The publisher provides both current and predicted trends for anal fissures by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for anal fissure and their trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as the total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.
  • Approximately 10% to 15% of patients have anal fissures in the anterior midline (front) of the anus, whereas 85% to 90% have fissures in the posterior midline (back). Some patients are also observed to have fissures in both locations.
  • Studies show that anal fissures have equal gender distribution and can develop at any age. However, most cases are identified in the pediatric and middle-aged populations.
  • It is estimated that nearly 40% of patients affected by anal fissures subsequently develop a chronic complication.
  • Anal fissures are reported to be highly prevalent in pregnant people and infants. About 50% of individuals with anal fissures develop them before they reach the age of 40.

Country-wise Anal Fissure Epidemiology

The anal fissure epidemiology data and findings for the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of anal fissures varies significantly between countries due to differences in dietary habits (fiber intake), the prevalence of constipation, healthcare access, cultural attitudes toward discussing and seeking treatment for anorectal disorders, socioeconomic conditions, and general health practices. In the United States, approximately 250,000 individuals are diagnosed with anal fissures every year.

Scope of the Report

  • The report covers a detailed analysis of signs and symptoms, causes, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment options, and classification/types of anal fissures based on several factors.
  • The Anal Fissure Epidemiology Forecast Report covers data for the eight major markets (the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, and India).
  • The report helps to identify the patient population, and the unmet needs of the anal fissure are highlighted along with an assessment of the disease's risk and burden.
