Welcome to HCM. Sorry about your worry. From what you describe, it seems that you may have anal fissures, these are classic with straining and constipation. To alleviate this include a stool softener, increase water consumption and fruits and vegetables and exercise do the trick. I hope that this helps. Good luck.
