Anal fissures are cracks or tears in the anus and anal canal. They may be acute or chronic. Anal fissures are caused primarily by trauma, but several non-traumatic diseases are associated with anal fissures and should be suspected if fissures occur in unusual locations. Primary symptoms include pain, bleeding and itching.
