Groove/Ridge in Stool

Hi there. TMI. A bit of back story. I had constipation in November 2017 and i ended up bleeding. I was so scared, i went to see a GP who did a digital Rectal exam and diagnosed me with an anal fissure which healed on its own and i had since a normal bowel movement. In March 2018, i had a relatively normal bowel movement but when i passed it, it felt like razors cutting. When i wiped, i saw blood. I immediately scheduled an appointment with a a physician. She did a DRE and diagnosed me with an internal hemmorhiod. I was not convinced so i scheduled another appointment with a GI and pushed for a colonoscopy. This was done 10 days later and the results were a normal colonoscopy no hemmrhoids or anything.He just said i might have had an anal fissure that healed on its own. I was asked to up my fibre intake and fluids. This has helped pretty much and i am pretty regular with normal round stool until i started seeing a groove/ridge in my poop (i check my poop). I am not sure if it has always been there. This doesn't happen all the time but its does.

Anyone experience this? Should i be worried? Do you think i need another colonoscopy? My anxiety off the hook.
