I’m 19 years old and I’ve only had one sexual partner. I haven’t been sexually active since December. Recently the area around my anus has been itching. I thought maybe it was irritated from shaving in that region but with further inspection I found a small bump near the opening of my anus. It’s flesh colored and smooth. I’ve been researching HPV online because I’m scared at the possibility of having anal warts but it doesn’t look like any of the pictures. My diet has been really poor lately and I am almost always constipated due to having to take prescribed pain relievers so I’m guessing and hoping that it’s hemorrhoids. However, can a hemorrhoid be a bump at the opening of the anus or does it have to hang out? The bump is just really itchy and so is the area surrounding it. It hasn’t bled but I’ve read that not all external hemorrhoids do. I would think that one would have to have anal sex in order to get anal warts but I could be wrong. Can someone please help me out and take an educated guess as to whats wrong with me? *note: I will be going to the doctor I would just like an opinion to help me sleep better tonight*

Today I bled a lot into the toilet while having a BM. It wasn’t bright red…not dark red either…in between. The water was all red and there was clots and maybe some tissue or something (looked like small, thin squares of red flesh). I think I have a hemorrhoid cuz I can feel a bump there, but my stomach and intestines really hurt and have been for like 2 weeks. You think the blood is from the possible hemorrhoid or something worse? Dont tell me to go to the doctor…i don’t have insurance and don’t want to.

It’s so freaky, like why is flesh coming out of me!! What can be done about them?
