- Overstretching of the opening of the anus during the time of childbirth.

Surgeon Dr Amita Jain says there could any of the following things that may indicate towards fissure:
- Burning or Itching
- Painful Motion
- Bloody Stool
- Tear or cut in anus skin
- Discomfort when urinating
- Feeling of full bowel even post the passing of stools several times
Treatment of Anal Fissure
Mild conditioned anal fissures commonly can heal with treatment focused on softening stools and prevention of constipation. In addition to recommending a stool softener, patients are also encouraged to drink plenty of water and take a fiber-rich diet.
However, a severe anal fissure may require more aggressive treatment such as surgery to stop the muscle spasms, thereby allowing the tear to heal.
