Another post partum poop question

I had no problems pooping a few days after labor. Was if uncomfortable? Yes. But after a few days my body seemed to normalize in that aspect and I thought I was home free.

I'm now 7 weeks post partum and since last week every time I go to the bathroom (to poop) it is painful. It's not Too hard or anything like that, so I don't know what to do about it. Is this what hemorrhoids feel like?

Anyone have advice?
