A member asked:
Why don't more anal fissures get infected? you'd think it would happen constantly, but it doesn't. is it bc it's our own bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Terminology changes: "Anal fissures" do get infected, but terminology then changes--e.g. An infected anal fissure often results in an "anal abscess."
