Hi MONI07
Yes, it is possible for colonoscopy to cause a fissure. The anus is already usually pretty stressed from having had to do the cleaning out process with all that diarrhea and then the introduction of the scope combined with the movement and advancement thorough the anal canal to go deeper into the colon, followed by the withdrawal of the scope... well, it's all a lot of wear and "tear" on the anal area.
