I have pain in my abdomen, problems passing gas & when i need to use the toilet, it burns and there is blood with my stool. is this an anal fissure?

Maybe...: Hemorrhoids and anal fissure are both considerations. Anal fissure usually is associated with severe sharp pain during defecation. People describe it feels like passing "shards of glass". See your doctor to find out what is going on. Good luck!

Possibly: These symptoms can be due to a number of anal conditions and irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease. A flexible sigmoidoscopy is necessary to make a diagnosis.
