What Causes A Haemorrhoid?

I recently had a severe blockage and had to manually remove it. I did have blood in toilet once I finished. A few days later I noticed I have a tiny little dangly bump next to my entrance of my butt. What is this?? Is this something as a result of straining to poop?? I have no visual tear or discoloration. The dangling bump is skin color, a little squishy. I did squeeze too hard on it once and I got blood on my finger.

Hello,

* The hemorrhoid is usually due to compression of rectal tissue from various reasons as constipation or else. Mucosa congestion with friction gives rise to blood in stool.
* Avoiding constipation with plenty of liquids, high fiber diet, bulk forming laxatives, Sitz bath will give best results.
