A flexi-sigmoidscopy or a colonoscopy (depending on your internal system) will be a good start to know the depth/width/length and the number/exact location of the fissure/s.
LIS sometimes fail, if the fissure is long. So a proper step-by-step diagnosis will help to gain insight and understanding of what kind of procedure will be right for you.
Colonoscopy rules out IBS and other serious conditions, which flexi-sig won't detect. However, if you think that your digestive tract is absolutely normal (based on your poop consistency/shape/frequency/color and intestinal signs like for example, no abdominal pain), then you may be successful with just a flexi-sig.
Your job is to find a doctor who uses a good/advanced imaging center and provides you with every detail including colored pictures or images. This material may help in preparing you for a second opinion, if necessary.
Good Luck!
