Hello,
Your symptoms suggest the presence of an anal fissure.

I would suggest a fibre supplement like psyllium husk which will helpnsoften the stool.

I would suggest sitting a a tub of lukewarm water twice a day which will help healing of the fissure.

Local xylocaine jelly application
Consult your doctor for a prescription

Avoid red meat, ale/ beer, spicy food till symptoms are there.
