Multiple Reasons: There are many causes of pain with defecation, some benign such as anal fissures (split or tear in anal opening) or protruding internal hemorrhoids and some more serious such as anal/rectal cancer. See your Proctologist for a full examination and if applicable, an anoscopy, where your doctor will visualize the anal canal and rectum. Best of Luck!
