What Causes Painful Bowel Movements?

I am having pain during and especially after my bowel movement. About 3 months ago I started to have a bowel movement 2-3 times a day, when prior to that it was just once a day and sometimes once every 2 days. My bowel is soft and not a lot each time. Can you help answer why my bowel movement is so painful?

Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pain during bowel movement is not normal and it should be evaluated further with local anal and proctoscopy rectal examination for primary workup. Let me know if you are having any anxiety history because it can lead to functional bowel problem. You have to include more fibre in the diet and take less spicy food which fruits should be taken more. Probiotic tablet like Sporolac can be prescribed to you. After your rectal and anal examination if specific cause found then has to be treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
