Why do I keep getting anal fissures even after LIS surgery? I'm vegetarian and careful with my diet but still get fissures from just one episode of hard stool caused by antibiotics. Others pass hard stool without issues, but my small anus seems prone to tearing - is that the real cause?

It's understandable why you're concerned about recurring anal fissures despite LIS surgery, even with a seemingly healthy diet. While your small anus might be a contributing factor, it's important to consider other potential reasons for continued fissures, like the specific trauma caused by hard stools, even in a vegetarian, and underlying sphincter issues
