"I know, right !!"
Man, i ask myself this same question. Is an anal fissure a disease or not!!
I think the best answer I found is this...
"The majority of anal fissures are idiopathic in nature."

I know, who what????!!!
The lowdown on idiopathic...
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-idiopathic.htmIdiopathic is a medical term which is used to describe a condition which has no known cause. When a patient's case is described as idiopathic, it means that the doctor does not know what caused the condition. This can be problematic, since sometimes identifying the cause of a condition is part of the process of finding an appropriate treatment. Idiopathic conditions can also be very frustrating for medical personnel, as lack of understanding about a cause makes it hard to prevent recurrence of the condition or future cases in other patients.
Go Figure!!!
