Constipation: Common reasons would be an irritated hemorrhoid or an anal fissure. A fissure is a skin tear caused by passing a hard bm. A lot of rectal problems are related to constipation. Drink lots of fluids, eat foods containing fiber and take a stool softener to help prevent constipation.

Burning and Itching: This can be seen with a food reaction; with a tear in the tissue surrounding the opening of the anus known as an anal fissure; and this symptom is very common with hemorrhoids.
