A member asked:

From bristol stool chart, can stool type 5: soft blobs with clear cut edges (passed easily) cause anal fissure? i had anal fissure last year after passing stool type 3: sausage shape with clear cut edges. please let me know?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Causes of anal fissures do include chronic diarrhea but passing large constipated stools with associated straining are more common causes. I don't think your bowel pattern would be a cause of anal fissure though.
