Seek MD if thrombose: Hemorrhoids can be felt as lump; may bleed intermittently; seek medical attention if evidence of thrombosis, i.e. clot w tenderness, pain, or even fever. These may need surgery. Given age >50 be sure had screening colonoscopy to rule out colorectal cancer and remove polyps to reduce cancer risks. Anusol can reduce symptoms. Keep stool soft, use baby wipes rather than toilet paper. Balmex
