Brief Answer:
May be a fissure!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.

I am so sorry to hear about this anal pain that you have reported. With no bulge felt and stools soft, this may represent a small wound in the anal area called anal fissure. I will recommend that you follow through and get examined. This would give a precise answer as to what the exact problem is for appropriate management. For now, pain medications such as Tylenol and Ibuprofen would be able to help.

I hope this helps. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask more questions and we would gladly address them.
