If you had too choose which to one to have while dealing with a fissure, what would you choose?
I think a big hard stool would do much more damage then watery diarrhea! Seems the hard stool would actually damage the fissure and the diarrhea would irritate the fissure.
Has anyone had experience with extended periods of these two conditions? how did you fissure hold up when you had a bout of diarrhea or constipation for a few days?
Thanks
PS: I am writing a paper on anal fissure's and need as much input as possible :D

My stools were liquid when I was on antibiotics for two weeks with my fissure...It was pure bliss for me. I could eat about anything and I used vaseline as a barrier to prevent any burn, but I only went three times a day most days.
I got constipated in the beginning of my fissure saga from fiber over dose without enough water and that's some where I'd never want to be with a fissure. It ripped me a new one. I knew that day that the little tare, that I could barely feel- had turned into a nightmare. I highly suggest that you do everything under the sun to prevent constipation!!
