A member asked:
Hello, i am healing from anal fissure since 2 weeks and following the home treatment regime. how long should i avoid playing some sport (badminton or basketball). is there a chance that fissure might reopen? also, do fissures ever heal permanently?

Regular exercise and sports shouldn't aggravate a healing or healed anal fissure but the bearing down like you're straining to have a bowel movement does. If you don't require such a straining motion during basketball or badminton, these activities should be ok for you. On the other hand, weight lifting would be a no no!
