Each person has unique constitution and diet which is opposite to that constitution causes constipation. Constitution ends up with this problem. The reasons, diet recommendations and home remedies to get quick relief from pain are described in details at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ayurvedaonline/message/2783 What is not covered there is application of a oil through a cotton wick. Prepare a cotton wick, dip in vegetable oil, e.g. coconut oil, sesame oil and leave it in anus for whole night. This makes passing of stools easy, reducing pain too. Vata gets pacified by oil. The reason for pain is reduced blood circulation to the rectum. The area looses its elasticity and hardens somewhat. If the stools are not plastic (tooth pest consistency) then pain results. To make stools plastic, drink more water. Let water be boiled to 50% to make it sharper. As previous answers suggest, eat vegetables and fruits containing fibres. Banana is an exceptional fruit. It cures constipation as well as diarrhea. Take it with a glass of warm milk. If you are allergic to milk, add 2 pinches turmeric powder to milk. Psyllium powder, castor oil in warm milk are laxatives to be used for a few days only. If you read article at above link, it clarifies how excess laxatives weaken rectum. once motions become soft, keep taking 10 ml extra virgin olive oil in milk at bedtime. This will keep piles a mile away. Piles is a condition which can be kept under control and "no flare up" state by proper diet and bowel habits. adequate fibre in food will ensure that later it will not mature into colon cancer or diverticulitis.
