Hello all! This question is merely out of curiosity. I have been battling this fissure for about 3 months now. I am feeling much better this week, though I am still having slight pain. Anyway, I understand that the majority of fissures occur at the 12 o' clock and 6 o' clock positions. Though I haven't seen a doctor, I am pretty sure mine is located at more of an 8 o clock postion. I have read on a few different web sites that this can be an indication of an underlying cause such as Crohn's disease or even cancer. I have a hard time accepting that I have an underlying cause as I am a 27 year old other wise healthy female with no other issues/symptoms other than this fissure! I'm just curious if there are any of you out there who also have a fissure located some where other than posteriorly or anteriorly?
