If you do not have pain on passing stool, you do not have anal fissure. Fingering yourself is not a good idaea and would not be informative. To prevent constipation- You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods.
