Suggest Treatment For Hemorrhoids
Question: I believe that I may suffer with hemmoroids. I do not experience any bleeding or pain. I do not have any external protrusions, but I constantly feel like there is something in the tip of my anal canal feeling like a piece of bowel movement is constantly there. However when I wipe, there is nothing there. I also do not experience any itching.
Brief Answer:
Most likely hemorrhoid proctoscopic examination to be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
Have gone through your details and i appreciate your concerns.
As per your query most likely its hemorrhoid.There are four stages of anal hemorrhoids its not always necessary that hemorrhoid protudes out.
There are four stages of external hemorrhoid -
Grade 1:hemorrhoid bulges into the canal but does not prolapse or fall completely into it. These may bleed.
Grade 2: hemorrhoid protrudes past the anal verge with straining for a bowel movement or passage of flatus, but spontaneously return to their original internal position once the straining has subsided.
Grade 3: the hemorrhoid may protrude past the anal verge without any straining and requires the patient to push them inside manually.
Grade 4: the internal hemorrhoid always stays protruded or prolapsed and is at risk for thrombosis or strangulation should the anal muscles go into spasm.
So its possible that you are in initial stage right now.
Though colon carcinoma or a benign polyp like mass can also be there yet golden rule of medical science is to rule out the common things first. Colorectal carcinoma include changes in bowel habits, changes in stool consistency, blood in the stool and abdominal discomfort and pain and you have none.
Suggestion-
Go to a General surgeon and get a digital rectal examination of anal canal and rectum along with proctoscopic examination.
This should be done initially to rule out the cause.
Thanks.
