Do i still have an anal fissure if no spotting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Michael Murray answered

Anal fissure: Anal fissures will often heal in and become asymptomatic. The problem with them is that they tend to recur. Particularly if you get constipated or have hard stools. Be sure to take stool softener and watch diet and it should stay healed.
