A member asked:
I noticed a couple times after passing large stool that there is a small protrusion which retracts after maybe a minute. is this reason to be worried?

Hemorrhoid: Sounds like you are probably dealing with a prolapsing internal hemorrhoid (which is of no reason to worry) however anorectal growths are also possible but less common.
