Anal fissure: Sitz baths and a local anestetic ointment applied to your anal regiod is helpful. Also diet modification may be in order.

Fiber: A high fiber diet, with plenty of fluids, will keep your stool soft and regular - which is essential if you have irritation or bleeding from hemmorhoids or a fissure. See your doctor for an evaluation of cause of pain and bleeding!
