They have been around for over a year and don't cause any discomfort. I will be getting them checked out by the docs soon. There are barely any symptoms, I only really realise it's there when I shower and wash my bum. They sometimes feel bigger after passing stool.

    Yes, to me they look like piles. 

    Get checked by a doctor to make sure.

      He did not say whether they were internal or external, he merely confirmed that they are piles. He did not do a prostate examination either which I was surprised about as I was expecting (and dreading) it. No treatment necessary as they are painless but he did give me a prescription for a suppository if I would like to try it. He says they offer mixed results.
