Hello,

The two possible causes are anal fissure and hemorrhoids.

As of now, you can take laxatives like lactulose for symptomatic relief. Lignocaine gel can be applied externally.

If symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for a colonoscopy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
