If you wait much longer the situation may become an emergency and you may need to go to the ER, however, relying on that resource is putting yourself at risk. You should seek the advice of a proctologist immediately.

It does not sound as though you have reason to go to the emergency room at this moment, but I would see your primary care doctor or a Gastroenterologist or proctologist to be examined to determine why you were having these symptoms. If it is getting worse, I would not delay. Good luck.
