Yes: Fissures and hemorrhoids are rather chronic and they may recur with constipation bouts. Other causes cannot be ruled out, best to further comment would be your gastroenterologist.

New fissure: It is more likely that you developed a new fissure, it may have occurred at the same site as the previous one, Keeping your stool soft will facilitate healing. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless.
