A member asked:
Have internal hemorrhoid last 2 days and have noticed stool is flat on one side during this time. is that normal for hemorroids to cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: We are born with hemorrhoid tissue and there are 3 that each have an internal and external component. They are soft and really should not affect the stool or its shape.
