Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Common cause of this problem is damage to the muscles around the
anus or due to any previous surgeries in that region. However, a
Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are
variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out. Treatment depends
on the cause but diet modification, some exercises will be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications.
