Brief Answer:
veins/mucosa. good bowel habits

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through the query and understood your concern.

The feeling of thin cord like structure may be
1. The vein present in the anus and this is the one which is responsible for the formation of hemorrhoids.
2. Mucosa

So since you don't have any other complaints, better to follow good bowel habits like defecation only if you feel like, never put pressure for defecation, have plenty of fibrous food and drink plenty of fluids. Practice going to defecate only once per day at common timings. These will prevent any complication and also relieve from the feeling of cord in anus.

I hope this information helps you and answered your questions.
Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.

Wish you good health.
Regards

Brief Answer:
not normal but will disappear with good lifestyle

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Since you don't have any other complaints and following the instructions I had explained earlier will help in reducing the size and further complications. This may be 2st degree hemorrhoids where you can palpate veins. In constipation also you will feel mass per rectum which will disappear after treatment.

Considering your age, it's better to get examined per rectally and USG abdomen and pelvis just to rule out any other problem.
Also good nutritious fibre diet and exercise will help in faster recovery.

I hope this information helps you understand and answered your concern. Feel free to ask for any further queries.

Regards
