Summary: Anal fissures are associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression in patients, leading to poorer quality of life and sexual function. A case-control study found that patients with AF had higher levels of anxiety and depression, as well as worse health-related quality of life and anger, compared to controls. On the other hand, controls showed better sexual function and quality of life compared to cases. Addressing these psychological issues in AF patients could be beneficial for their clinical assessment and intervention.
