If you want to: know for sure - that is the way to do. If we just go off a verbal description - we are just telling you what it is most likely to be vice confirming diagnosis.

Absolutely!: Hoe can the doctor assess the situation without seeing your hemorrhoids?

Yes: Your doctor has seen many bums. If you want an evaluation, you should let your doctor see the lesion. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Hemorrhoids.: Unfortunately, that’s where the hemorrhoids are, so the doctor will expect to be examining there. However, you are allowed to refuse the examination if it makes you uncomfortable. This part of the examination can’t be forced upon you, certainly.
