Hemorrhoid
I think I have an external Hemorrhoid. There is a lump at the opening of anus which I think is called external Hemorrhoid as I researched about it. I am not able to pass stool since 2 days and beginning to worry about it. I had some blood coming out with stool since past week and then this sweeling came up. Any suggestions on what to do? I am drinking a lot of water and have started eating fruits too.

Hello there..... I went through your query.....
Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day. .....
Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling.
With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week. See your doctor if you don't get relief in a week, or sooner if you have severe pain or bleeding.
Consult surgeon....
