A member asked:
I have haemorrhoids spreading up my ass crack, what stage would it be classified as? prolapse or just more developing that needs surgery to prevent it getting worse?

Hemorrhoids often enlarge over time, but they do not spread away from the anus itself. If you're feeling bumps, irritation, itching or similar symptoms in your gluteal cleft ("ass crack"), probably it's something else. Not prolapse. See your doctor about it. Good luck.
