A member asked:
How can i tell the difference between a hemorrhoid and a mucosal (partial) prolapse through self examination?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough to tell: This is sometimes a tough question for medical professionals to answer. Severe hemorrhoids can have the look of a prolapse. If you are asking this question, you should make an appointment with a GI doctor or a general surgeon.
