A member asked:
After going to the toilet, it feels like a small bulge is protecting from my anus. how urgent is it to have it checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not urgent: What you described suggests hemorrhoids. While not urgent, it would be prudent to see a doctor for treatment. Wish you 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.
