Hi.

Pain during bowel movements and burning sensation after bowel movements could be due anal fissure.
Take high fiber diet and drink lot of fluids.
Do sitz bath. (Sit in a tub of lukewarm water for 10 minutes twice a day).
Apply anovate to the anal opening twice a day after sitz bath.

I hope that answers your question.
