Prevention
This sensation of rectal filling enables us to consciously or unconsciously squeeze the external anal sphincter to prevent incontinence until we can reach a toilet. [aboutgimotility.org]

Prevention You may be able to prevent an anal fissure by taking measures to prevent constipation or diarrhea. Eat high-fiber foods, drink fluids and exercise regularly to keep from having to strain during bowel movements. [mayoclinic.org]
People whose anal fissures don’t heal well may have an imbalance in anal pressure that prevents blood from circulating normally through the blood vessels around the anus. The reduced blood flow prevents healing. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
[ edit ] For adults, the following may help prevent anal fissures: Avoiding straining when defecating. [en.wikipedia.org]
