Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
These lumps are apparently external piles (which are nothing but dilated veins), which have a delicate wall. Friction (such as due to wiping them with toilet paper) ruptures one or more piles and cause bleeding.
Either banding (something like putting rubber bands around the piles) or injecting a chemical into the piles to produce a permanent blockage of piles, are the options before you.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will advise you of the best option available, depending on the current status of external piles.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Take care
