Brief Answer:
Hemorrhoids likely an external pile

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I think you are talking about external hemorrhoids aka piles. It may active one or a sentinel pile.
You can get this excised after meeting a General surgeon in your area. This is easy and safe procedure. You can get back to work in 72 hours.
Besides you should increase water intake and fibre in the diet to help ease the bowel movements. Find ways to do it with the help of dietitian.
