Sharp fleeting pain in abdomen when passing stool and rectal muscle soreness

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum.

I've been experiencing pain in my abdomen to the right of my belly button in a specific point for the past year. The pain is sharp and fleeting (lasts a few seconds) and it never radiates, it comes in the exact same spot everytime.

I have noticed that the pain can happen randomly at any time, however it's mainly associated when I pass stool. My rectal muscles are also sore and I do have the sensation that the sphincter down there is contracting (or pulsing?) in a dysfunctional way.

I have done a sigmoidoscopy that showed no results. My doctor also checked for hernias to the right of my belly button, but said she couldn't feel any. What do you think is the connection between sore painful anal and rectal muscles AND a sharp pain in a specific spot in my abdomen when passing stool? Could it be a nerve issue or just colonic muscle spasms?

Thank you for the help!
