Probably: Not your internal hemorrhoids as they usually bleed without pain. Pain and bleeding is most often due to a fissure. If your regular doctor can't make the diagnosis see a colorectal surgeon.

Psyllium Fiber: If you want to only care for this without any surgical intervention, then psyllium fiber or an equivalent is likely the best treatment for long term. Make sure you purchase unflavored psyllium. Start with a teaspoon a night mixed in 16 oz of water every night. Unless they are stuck out and causing significant pain or itching, surgery can usually be avoided. You should consider seeing your doc.
