Detailed Answer:
Hello,
the pain you are describing is like that seen in an anal fissure.
I would advise the following

A stoolnsoftner like psyllium husk which will make the stool consistency softer and reduce pain while passing stools

Xylocaine point ment to be applied locally beforeassing stools will help in reducing the pain.

Sitz bath sitting in a tub of lukewarm water twice a day for 10 min. Continue this for 5 days.

How ever I would ask you to vist your doctor and get a rectal exam to confirm the diagnosis.If the anal spasm is very strong he might prescribe local diltiazem ointment

Hope this helps

Do get back in case you have further queries
