Hi Sir,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

Yes it could be haemorrhoids. To confirm you need to consult a surgeon and get examined.

Yes haemorrhoids may look purple coloured mass and they are non painful. Cause passage of fresh blood . No pain in passing stools.

I suggest you to consult surgeon for the confirmation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
