Anal fissures and fistulas
Anal fissures and fistulas are generally the most common anal-rectal pathologies.
Fissures are characterized by slight bleeding associated with painful defecations of hard and thick feces.
The appearance of an inflammatory process similar to a pimple, in the margins or surrounding area of the anus, should always raise the suspicion of the existence of a fistula.
The persistent slight bleeding with feces in the absence of pain can indicate the existence of a rectal plop and require a rectoscopy.
