Help! is it possible to have hemorrhoids internally and not know it?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Internal hemorrhoids can remain totally internal and be hard to identify without a proper exam. Internal hemorrhoids can also become so large or thrombosed (clotted) that they protrude to the outside.

Yes: Internal hemorrhoids can not be seen by simply looking at the anus. They exist just inside the anus.

Yes, but be sure!: An Internal Hemorrhoid is a varicose vein inside the anus.It can cause painless rectal bleeding. You need to be sure it is not a rectal polyp which could become cancer-hat can cause painless bleeding also! Do you have a family history of colorectal cancer? Get a Colonoscopy ASAP, Colon cancer is the 3rd/ most common cause of cancer in men, and you are NOT too young to have it.
