Yes, get checked.: If you have hemorrhoids, you likely have bleeding, pain, and you can have a rectal mass. These are classic for hemorrhoids, anal fissure(s), and possibly rectal cancer. This is a big reason why hemorrhoids should be checked and treated. They can be external, can clot, and are painful. Fortunately, there are treatments, like sclerotherapy, ligation, and surgical removal, so see dr./get checked.

Agree with Dr. W: Do see a doctor. Blood loss may be causing anemia. Start taking oral iron and multivitamins while waiting for treatment of anal lesions.
