Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Yes, in your age in most cases these are Piles or so called Hemoorhoids which are protrusions of veins in rectal wall and there are several stages of hemorrhodal disease and the right treatment depends on type and stage of the disease.

Initially it can be treated with dietary changes by having hogh fibre diet with lot of fluids and make your stool soft. There are supplemets such as Psilium and Detralex which may help as well. Also, you should use sitz baths and have hemorrhoidal cream.

Second, it can be treated with rubber ligation or sclerosation and in severe stages, the surgery is recommended. Other causes are less common and include polyps or HPV virus and this may be considered if symptoms persist. In case of blood in stool you should see doctor as soon as possible since this may be bleeding piles which should be managed by medical professional.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
