Hi 50_58,
The most important symptom of anal fissure is excruciating pain.
The other symptoms include streaking of blood on stool. There will be a long tear in the anal canal and  sometimes even spreading the legs apart may worsen the pain.

Some of the treatment options -
1. High fiber diet to facilate easy bowel movement
2. Sitz bath
3. Topical nitroglycerin
4. Surgery as the last resort
