Specializes in General Surgery

Fissure: You may have a tear in the lining of the rectum from passing hard stool (called a fissure), Increase fiber in your diet (fruits and vegetables), and possibly take a fiber agent such as metamucil (any drug store will have). Sitting in a warm bath may help as well. If persists, see primary care.
