Anal Fissure: Anal fissures or a tear in the opening of the rectum is very common with large bowel movements. Trauma can also cause this tearing. The goal for healing is rest (no more toys or other playing until healed), keeping the tear clean (sitz baths or wet wipes, and finally the most important is to keep the stool soft until the fissure is healed.
