Kind of gross, but I have experienced this, and I have found that it occurs either due to constipation or when hemorhoids (sp?) are acting up. Haha, this is embarassing for me to talk about but there you have it.

If you've experienced chronic constipation and straining or even constant diarrhea, you may have developed hemorrhoids (little protrusions of varicose veins in your rectum). The best nonsurgical solution is sitting on a 'sitzbath' device with very warm water for at least 10 minutes daily. None of those hemorrhoid oitments do much for painful hemorrhoids.

After years of celiac and dairy allergy related constipation, I had hemorrhoid surgery (after a botched 'banding' outpatient hemorrhoid removal procedure). The best thing about that surgery was getting the sitzbath device. You fill it with warm water, put it on your toilet and soak for 10 minutes or so, especially after bowel movements.

Not to sound gross, but do you feel like you don't completely evacuate? Not sure if you are female or not, but if yes, women can develope rectoceles. It is where there is a bulging into the vagina due to the muscles weaking from childbirth etc. I believe that I have one and constipation can aggrivate it. I'm not really having any problems from it so I'm going to leave things alone.
