Many possibilities: We would need to know whether the pain is in the abdomen, in the rectum, or actually in the anus. There are many possibilities for each. If this is a problem for more than a week, a physician office visit is in order.

Diet/behavior/illnes: Your typical 4yo has learned to hold his poo & go later when it suits him.They often forget, if he skips the day, the drying and bulking action of the bowel may cause a larger or harder poo that hurts to empty or causes a scratch in the outlet that hurts.This is common in otherwise healthy kids. Apples/bananas will aggrivate, natural juices& fiber can help& a daily stooling calender is a must.
