Natural remedies for anal fissures and faster healing An anal fissure is one of those conditions you would not want to talk about, even to the doctor, but which makes you cry on the toilet in the morning. It is a small tear in the mucosa of the anal canal, yet it produces an atrocious, searing pain with every bowel movement.
