Brief Answer:
Yes , could be hemorrhoids

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Haemorrhoidal cushions are basically engorged blood at 4 , 7 and 11 o clock of anus and yes when strining or constipation or raised intra abdominal pressure, these can burst. However complete round protrusion may be considered for other possibilities like rectal prolapse or polyp or anal tags and fissues.

Talk to you doctor, let them have and a look, grade the severity of hemorrhoids if these are hemorrhoids, and let them decide what is best for you.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
