General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
From your description it appears that you could be having hemorrhoids.
There is nothing to be scared of.
You need to consult Surgeon for per rectal examination to confirm the diagnosis. It can be treated on a day care procedure under local anaesthesia by means of cryosurgery.
Meanwhile, try to avoid constipation by taking soft and fibre rich diet. Improve your intake of water and fluids.
Kindly consult Surgeon at the earliest for evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
