Pain is not internal: Internal hemorrhoids usually present as painless bleeding. Pain in the anus with a bowel movement is usually due to an anal fissure, with sharp tearing pain during a bm , and variable spasm pain after the bm. If you are having painful bm's, it is best to be examined by a colorectal surgeon and learn of options available to treat this.
