Hi, I'm dr.Anto

Thank you for submitting your question.

Anal fissure surgery is a simple procedure alright, but even before the surgery the patient would be in a depression state since its something that you don't talk everyday and might ashame by himself.

A depression post-operation would be the caused of this. I would suggest you to take your son to a psychiatrist or even to the surgeon that operate him to explain him more about it so he can be more relaxed.

Anal fissure won't be exacerbate.

thank you.
