A fissure is a tear or crack in an organ or body structure such as the anal canal or the skin. In the context of the anal canal, a fissure can cause pain and bleeding during bowel movements due to straining or passing hard stools. Treatment may include stool softeners, fiber supplements, sitting in warm water, topical medications, and surgical interventions in severe cases.
