Possible hemorrhoid?: Your description sounds to me like a hemorrhoid. They usually are at the end of your large intestine and sometimes might just break off and come out. Could be a polyp too. You seem to have saved it. If so the doc you bring it to may be able to send it to a pathologist for a definitive answer as to what it is.
