I get em every now and them. Not sure why, diet prob. It sucks. One thing I've been told is do not hold it in. If you have to shit find a toilet and go ASAP, holding it can be bad. I've also had a fissure so bad it needed surgery. Man, you think hemorrhoids are bad. Be happy you don't have a fissure that's out of control. Horrible, debilitating pain.

Even if you're vegetarian, you still may not be getting enough fiber to move things along easily.A daily good serving of beans is really helpful, in my experience.

Is your poo well-formed?

I can't really process fiber well, though I've used bulking agents (metamucil) in the past when necessary. An apple a day and a salad for dinner with whatever heavy portion of protein keeps me regular. But there are different body types. My wife, for example, can eat a ton of fiber and be fine, and she can go without much protein and be fine.
