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.
I got diagnosed today. They are hemorrhoids (piles).
Internal or External? Whats the proposed treatment suggested.
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.
