What Causes Sudden Sharp Pain In The Rectal Area?

Today I was removing my tampon and I had bowel movement. After it ended I felt the sharpest pain in the rectum area and it lasted for about 20/30 seconds. It was very sudden and it completely froze me. I usually have some sharp and sudden aches like this in the same area; even when i m not menstruating, but they usually only last a second or two. What could it be? Should I be worried?
