A member asked:

What happens if you have a large hemorrhoid and you have to poop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: Large hemorrhoids may be external or internal prolapsed hemorrhoids. You may also have large hemorrhoids because of blood clot in one of them. Having bowl movement may be painful but it will not cause major problem.

Does a hemorrhoid feel like a large blister. At the entrance of anus. If not what would that be? No pain or bleeding. It just shows up. Last time it showed up and was going to doctor the next day and she checked and didn't feel anything. I have again?
