Can an Internal Hemorrhoid cause stomach discomfort?

Hi guys! I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and can help me through. I have what I believe to be internal piles high up in anus. It seems to kind of slow down my digestion and cause stomach discomfort after eating. Not pain, just extra discomfort that wasn't there before the hemorrhoid presented itself. Anyone ever experience this? Thanks

The haemorrhoids may be making it harder to pass stools. Are you experiencing constipation? Is that what you mean by slowed digestion?

Not necessarily constipation, but it has been a bit harder to pass stools sometimes when I’m on the toilet, especially near the end of the process.

Difficulty in passing stools or producing small, hard, pellet like atools, is classed as constipation.
