Anal Fissure Treatment in North Houston, Humble & The Woodlands

At Digestive & Liver Disease Consultants, P.A. (DLDC), our specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for anal fissures using medications, dietary guidance, topical therapies, and when necessary, minimally invasive procedures to relax the anal sphincter and promote healing.
