Since the gallbladder releases bile acid into the intestine and can be the cause of diarrhea, and diarrhea can cause both hemorrhoids and fissures, there could certainly be a connection there. My CRS thought that I had bile acid diarrhea, causing my chronic issue with far too loose stools, and I have suffered with both hemorrhoids and fissures for years. Do you have a current gallbladder condition? If so, you should check with your doctor to see if he/she thinks that there is a connection in your case too.
