Okay, so I’ve asked about a hemorrhoid before. And constipation recently. They just go hand-in-hand. But, ah… I’m asking about whether or not I have a prolapsed internal hemorrhoid or just an external one right now.

I’ve looked up pictures of prolapsed internal hemorhoids – which are… disturbing – as well as hemorrhoid diagrams. From what I see, a prolapsed internal hemorrhoid would literally come from the anus. Like something stuck up there pointing out. Apparently they can come out when you strain and, at a certain point, you can push them manually back in. This is why I’m asking.

Mine are… Well, I CAN push them back in/down usually after they puff/swell up when I strain due to my recent constipation, but my thing is that mine seem to be on the outer rim of my… Rectum? Like an external hemorrhoid would be. They swell when I strain, the swelling can be pushed back down with a couple of tries, but I can physically feel that it’s connected to my anus, unlike how – from what I understand – a prolapsed one would be.

Is this an external hemorrhoid, a prolapsed inner hemorrhoid, or just an internal hemorrhoid that I can feel that isn’t prolapsing – do you think?

I took photo of my anus and I clearly saw that I have a fissure just next to my anus. I am scared that will this turn into external hemorrhoid.

About three days ago, I noticed what I think is swelling "right above" the anus. I’m not even sure if it is swollen, I am a worry wort BIG TIME when it comes to my cat. Right above the anus, it is about 3/4 the size of a pea. I have been told that my cats anal glands may need expressing, or it could be feline hemorrhoids. I understand how they express a felines anal glands, but what is the treatment for feline hemorrhoids? And why was I told to take my cat to the vet ASAP, if it is feline hemorrhoids as if it were an emergency?

I have a bump around my anus and whenever i defecate it starts to bleed. Could it be hemorrhoids or something else, worse, not as bad? PLEASE help im a 17 year old guy

I think I just had my first hemorrhoid. At first, I thought it was just irritation from wiping too hard. However this was about 2 days ago, I’ve been having burning and itching around my anus ever since. And I can feel a small hard bump right at the rim of my anus. Does this mean it’s an external hemorrhoid? I changed my diet today to include more fiber and water. But I haven’t bought any OTC medicine, such as Preparation H, I haven’t even tried any ice.

Should I try getting the Preparation H cream or suppository? Is there anything else I can do to help fix this? And if I stay on top of treating my hemorrhoid. How long will it take go away?
I don’t have health insurance, so seeing a doctor is out of the question.
