Anal concerns...: The various causes of anal pain is broad, however common causes include benign conditions such as hemorrhoids or anal fissure. Hemorrhoids are swollen anal veins that may or may not be visible externally. A fissure characteristically causes sharp pain and is often associated with rectal bleeding. Another common cause of anal pain is called protalgia fugax caused by pelvic floor muscle spasms.
