Anal Dilation for Chronic Strictures is a non-surgical or minimally invasive procedure designed to widen the anal canal in cases of chronic narrowing. This condition, often caused by scarring or inflammation, can lead to pain and difficulty during bowel movements.

The dilation process involves using graduated dilators or balloons to gently stretch the anal canal. This is often performed under local or regional anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Gradual and controlled dilation prevents tissue damage and minimizes complications.

Patients may need multiple sessions depending on the severity of the stricture. Post-treatment care includes maintaining a high-fiber diet, staying hydrated, and using stool softeners to avoid further strain on the anal area.

Anal dilation benefits patients by restoring normal bowel function and relieving symptoms of discomfort. This procedure improves quality of life and prevents the progression of anal strictures.
