If your poop is very hard, you might be constipated. If it just hurts when you poop, you might have anal fissures or hemorrhoids.
My mom used to tell me that light colored poo is a sign of anemia, but I don't know if thats true or not. It's normal to rarely see mucus with your poop. You might try hemorrhoid cream (available over the counter) to see if that helps the pain. If you are constipated, try drinking more liquids. There are also over the counter stool softeners available. You really should see your doctor, if it doesn't improve.
Hope this helps!

It sounds like an anal fissure, it's a small tear or cut in the lining of the anus which usually bleeds when you go to the bathroom. I had one and they can be very painful. Mine got better by itself as I was too embarrased to see the doctor but it took months. A friend of mine has a very serious one and is on meds at the moment. You should definitely see your doctor, but if you're a bit shy like I was, try some stool softener for a while first so your fissure can heal without the constant hard poops opening it up again. Also, high fibre diet and lots of liquids will all help to heal a fissure. If there's still no luck then see your doc.

I used to have this when I was younger and close to the time I had my period. You might have IBS irritable bowel syndrome.
eventually it became less - try eating more oatmeal and raisins and drink more water- if it continues all the time go to a Gastroenteritis and get some help.

You need to see a Dr. No one here has medical expertise to advise you about a serious problem. A gastroenterologist can help you. Don't neglect your health.

Discuss this with your doctor. You might have kidney stones or constipation. It's embarrasing but your doctor will understand and you'll feel better.

Try some stool softener, it sounds like your constipated. However, if this doesn't work see your doctor.
