A member asked:

I think i have an external hemorrhoid, but i dont have any itching, pain or bleeding. the only symptom i have is swelling, straining to pass stool (even soft). is it possible for a hemorrhoid to only come with those symptoms?

straining for stools is cause of hemorrhoid. Drink well and eat fibers ++ to ease off passage of stools so there be less pressures in anal area that trigger dilation of the anal vein around the anus [=hemorrhoid]

Those could be the symptoms of internal hemorrhoid or a different problem but not external hemorrhoid.
