Brief Answer:
Per digital rectal examination is advisable.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms could be probably related to Constipation.
Constipation could be secondary to hemorrhoids or straining of stools can lead to hemorrhoids or there could be underlying Anal fissures.
So I advise you to get a Per digital rectal examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile Exercise and high fiber diet with adequate water intake can help.
