Can I have a hemorrhoid and not have bleeding or pain?
I have a lump right at the end of my anus. I can see it if I pull back the cheeks. I am a 17 year old male and was wondering if I should be worried. I first felt it when wiping myself after going to the bathroom. It’s been there for two weeks or so now. I have no pain and no bleeding. What is this?
"Hemorrhoids, also called piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoids may result from straining during a bowel movement" partial definition from the Mayo clinic site. Most common is the feeling of a little pain (discomfort). A warm bath is what the Dr. told me. If you see a health professional, they will be able to tell right away if it is.
