Hello and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query. I understand your concern. And from your description, it could in fact be hemorrhoids, but without a physical examination, it is difficult to accurately diagnose. If it is indeed a hemorrhoid problem, then yes, they are harmless, but in the long run can result in symptoms like bleeding stools, constipation, pain, itching around genitals, etc. So you should visit a doctor, who will help in treating them. Yes, you can easily get rid of them, but only with a doctor s help and advise. They are not self-resolving, and only get worse with time. So I request you to please visit a doctor. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
