Painful Bowel Movements
The passing of stools might be more painful if you are suffering from hemorrhoids. This is mainly because the surrounding areas of your anus would become irritated and inflamed. During a bowel movement, there will be a lot of pressure on those nerve cells, thus leading to pain. The level of intensity can vary greatly, depending on your condition. However, when the hemorrhoids progress, the pain can be very intense. In addition, you might have the feeling of needing immediate bowel movements even when they have been vacated. Some medications would be effective in treating pain. However, these are just temporary options. [2]
