hemorrhoids: Yes you probably have hemorrhoids. There are a number of over the counter medications that can help. They typically worsen after straining such as you describe with constipation. See your doctor if this one persists or becomes painful.

I have a small blue/purple lump near the opening of my anus. It is mildly painful and a bit itchy. My doctor mentioned that I also have an internal small hemorrhoid. But, after research this seems more like a hematoma then a hemorrhoid. What to do?
