A member asked:
Can you feel internal hemorrhoids by sticking your finger up your butthole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends how big the hemorrhoid and how sensitive your finger are and if you can tell the difference between a normal rectum and a rectum with varicose veins (hemorrhoids). Doctor often rely on the anoscope in order to tell if you have internal hemorrhoids or not. Take care.
