Can anal abscess be mistaken for internal hemorrhoid? i have constant downward pressure/ pain. doc. glove exam felt bump"hernia..i mean hemorrhoid":(

Not commonly: Mistaken but could be. Usually an abscess in the peri-anal area is quite painful ; progressively gets worse over a few days. A hemorrhoid condition could cause a pressure feeling, but would not be very bad. An abscess is usually very painful.
