This is likely due to hemorrhoids, especially when it occurs after a hard stool. You can soften your stools by increasing your water and fiber intake. You can see your GI doctor again if it recurs, especially if it occurs with softer stools. Good luck to you!

You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!

I have found that a proctologist would be better to consult about ongoing anorectal problems as this is their only specialty. Gastroenterologists and even colorectal surgeons often don't delve into these conditions enthusiastically and don't provide follow-up well.
