Internal Hemorrhoid symptoms

Posted , 3 users are following.

About a month and a half ago, my anus started feeling irritated. I had minor issues years ago, a little Preparation H and gone. I was diagnosed non-symptomatic internal Hemmorriods after a Colonoscopy also.

But this time, 9 years later, it's gotten worse...had some blood in stool, and pain especially while sitting, which can radiate to perinium area and even back of legs. I do not see any external bumps or anything.

First thing in the morning almost no pain... and standing mostly no pain or discomfort. But sitting and towards the end of the day more and more soreness and discomfort, especially sitting.

I inserted my finger up my anal area...and felt a small little soft bump a couple inches up... can a hemmoroid feel like this?

I have an appointment with gastro next week... so I understand I need to get it checked...but just wondering if my symptoms match other's internal Hemorroids symptoms?

    you definitely should get checked up just to make sure its not something else, but what you're describing does sound like an internal hemorrhoid. i just had two surgically removed three weeks ago. Mine bled LOTS. like severely enough to cause me to need many many blood transfusions through the years. (but mine were very very large and had been with me since birth, so 30 years.) they did cause discomfort during bowel movements as well as when sitting.
