When to Contact CRSSNY
Early detection may prevent your condition from becoming more serious, while waiting to see our physicians may only increase certain risks. Please contact us immediately if you are experiencing:
Pain
Call us if you have anal area pain lasting more than 48 hours that over-the-counter medication does not relieve. You should also reach out if the pain or discomfort in your anal region worsens or becomes chronic.
Rectal Bleeding
It is time to reach out to a physician if you experience rectal bleeding, which can be caused by chronic constipation, anal fissures, passing hard stools during bowel movements, hemorrhoids, or more serious conditions.
Common Causes of Anal Pain
Anal pain can be indicative of:
- Hemorrhoids
- Anal fissures
- Abscess
- Muscle spasms
- Anal ulcers
- Skin problems
- Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Tumors
- Fungal infections
- Fistulas
- Levator Ani Syndrome Spasms (more common in women)
Our doctors will conduct a thorough screening to determine the cause of your symptoms and the best possible solution in your case.
Anal Pain Treatment Options
- Hemorrhoids can be treated with dietary changes, heat therapy, prescription creams, and if needed, surgical removal.
- Anal fissures often heal thanks to steroid creams, warm baths, and BOTOX® injections to decrease muscle spasms. However, surgery is sometimes needed.
- Cancerous tumors of either the anus or rectum can be treated with surgery, especially if detected in the early stages.
- Blood clots or an abscess may require drainage.
- If a patient experiences skin irritation or an infection, we often treat it with prescription medicine or topical cream.
- Many STDs also respond to non-invasive treatments.

A great majority of patients that call our practice complain of hemorrhoidal symptoms. Hemorrhoids can be a symptom of more serious disorders. At Colon & Rectal Surgical Specialists of New York, our doctors have established the Hemorrhoid Treatment Center to provide the specialized care that patients with hemorrhoids need.
Our Mission
To restore your health and quality of life by relieving pain associated with conditions of the anus as well as easing any fears and embarrassment you may have regarding rectum treatments.
Treating Anal Fissures
An Anal Fissure can cause a significant amount of discomfort for the sufferer. A Fissure is a small tear right at the anal verge. Occasionally, medication is all that is required for treatment, but if the problem persists, a surgical intervention may be necessary.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy procedure safeguards patients from developing colon cancer. Colonoscopies are recommended for every patient over the age of 50. If any polyps are detected, the specialists at CRSSNY are often able to remove them without additional surgeries.
