Answer 1

Yes, this could be hemorrhoids. I've been dealing with one for several years now.

I would definitely recommend that you have this checked out by your doctor to see what they think it is that's going on.

Answer 2

Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are varicose (swollen or dilated) veins located inside the anus (internal hemorrhoids) or around the exterior of anus (external hemorrhoids).

It is normal for blood vessels to be located in this region. Doctors are not exactly sure why these veins become enlarged and swollen, but several associations have been made. Hemorrhoids are usually not very painful or critical, but they can be bothersome.

What Are the Symptoms of Hemorrhoids?
Symptoms of hemorrhoids include:

Pain and pressure in the anal canal.
A grapelike lump on the anus.
Itching and soreness in and around the anus.
Blood on underwear, toilet paper, the surface of the stool or in the toilet bowl.
Symptoms can be made worse by straining during constipation and overly aggressive wiping of the anus

What Causes Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids can be caused by the following:

Straining during a bowel movement.
Frequent constipation (hard or difficult bowel movements).
Diarrhea (frequent, loose, watery stool).
Pregnancy (especially in the third trimester).
Cirrhosis of the liver (can cause pooling of blood in the vessels around the rectum).

How Are Hemorrhoids Treated?
Treatment of hemorrhoids involves alleviating the symptoms. To reduce pain and itching of hemorrhoids, you can try these methods:



Take sitz baths; sit in a shallow bath of warm water several times a day. Don't add anything to the water.
Use a hemorrhoid cream (like Preparation H) or suppository. Follow the directions on the package. These products help with the symptoms, but they don't shrink the hemorrhoids.
Don't strain during bowel movements. Talk to your doctor about using a stool softener to help with constipation.
Avoid becoming dehydrated
