Hemorrhoids vs Anal Fissure: How to Tell the Difference

AC Hemorrhoids & Anorectal Centre is a specialized clinic in Calgary focused on minimally invasive hemorrhoid treatment, including non-surgical options and clinic-based anorectal minor surgical procedures.

We offer Rafaelo® Radiofrequency treatment and CRH® Rubber Band Ligation for internal hemorrhoids, including prolapsing hemorrhoids, as well as clinic-based minor procedures for external hemorrhoids, mixed hemorrhoids, and anal skin tags. We also assess and treat other common benign anorectal conditions, including anal fissures and selected perianal abscesses and anal fistulas that may be suitable for outpatient treatment.

Our approach starts with a comprehensive anorectal assessment to establish a clear diagnosis by identifying the type, severity, symptoms, and anatomy of the condition, and then determining which treatment options may be appropriate.
