A member asked:
Can internal hemorrhoids get so large that you cannot push stool out? have to take milk of mag to get it out. its flat on both sides but soft not hard

Possible: But not likely. I would be concerned about other masses or a stricture or other anatomical defect producing your symptoms. A general surgeon should be able to take a direct look with a proctoscope or flex sig to make sure there isn't something more serious going on.
