An anal fissure is a small cut or tears in the lining of the anus. This cut can cause severe pain and may even bleed a little when the person is passing stools. Streaks of blood can be noticed on the stools or on the tissues used to wipe the place. Most often, the tearing of the lining of anus is caused by hard and large stools in constipated people.
