What is an anal fissure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Torn tissue: This is a deep scratch or tissue tear in the inner lining of the anus. It tends to occur when large/lumpy or bulky stools exit the rectum under some force. It is often accompanied by bright red blood in a line on the outside of the feces. They usually self heal over time if later stools are softer.
