Anal fissure often occurs due to hard stools that cause a small tear in the anal area. Keep stools soft by drinking plenty of water and eating fibre-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables. Warm water sitz baths may help reduce pain and promote healing. A doctor may suggest a soothing ointment and a stool softening medicine if needed.
