Anal fissure: Catherine153- You may have a small tear in the skin of your anus known as an anal fissure. These are typically caused by passage of hard stool. The majority will heal on their own. I would suggest sitz baths after bowel movements, as well as psyllium fiber supplements and an over the counter stool softener (docusate). If symptoms persist >8 weeks or pain/bleeding worsens, see your doctor.
