A member asked:
Hemmoroids or anal cancer, how to know?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tumor is solid: Hemmorhoids are varicose veins of the anal areal. On exam they are soft unless a clot is present. Anal cancers are very firm and bleed for the most part on palpation, most infiltrating into deeper tissue.
