A member asked:
Are there any symptomatic differences between an external hemorrhoid and an anal cancer growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not reliable ones: If you have any concern about either of these conditions, it would be prudent to see a doctor and not rely on symptoms to differentiate the two conditions.
