I noticed blood on my toilet paper about 2 months ago, and after feeling my anus and reading online, I figured I had hemorrhoids. I applied hydro cortisone cream, and the itchiness would go away, but the hemorrhoids were still there.

After several weeks, I started changing my diet adding a significant amount of fiber and drinking lots of water (I take fiber supplements). For about two weeks, the hemorrhoids are making "skid marks" on my underwear, it looks like a combination of blood and fecal material, and it’s irritating my butt cheeks skin with the friction. It’s very, very painful and I don’t know what else to do to get rid of these hemorrhoids.

Is this abnormal? How can I stop the constant bleeding and the odorous skid marks? I’m desperate.

My anus is bleeding and I have a prolapsed hemorrhoid (the one that sticks out your anus). I read that you can get both internal and external hemorrhoids. Can someone tell me if I have both?

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?
