Hi Sababa,
Welcome to the site.
It is common for a impacted stool to cause fissure. If you are having issues with impacted stools, I would recommend a high fiber diet with lost of fruits and vegies and drink as least 64 oz of water a day. There also some fiber supplements that you may want to consider. Taking MiraLax will also help to soften the stools and it appears to the best stool softener for a fissure. If you can get your stools soft and your fissure is new, it is possible to heal the fissure in two or three weeks.
The hard stool puts a lot of pressure on the fissure area with straining during the BM.
