Fissure: Anal fissures are cuts, caused by increased pressure on the rectum, constipation, trauma, or hemorrhoids themselves. Since anal and rectal cancer can act the same way, see a board certified gastroenterologist.

They don't: Anal fissures do not become hemorrhoids. Fissures are tears, hemorrhoids are dilated veins.
