Options : You describe a grade 3 (external) hemorrhoid. If the symptoms you mentioned are tolerable just follow high fiber diet and avoid dehydration to keep stools soft and easy to pass. If bleeding, enlargement or pain occur would probably require hemorrhoidectomy.

Yes: Sounds like you have grade 3 internal hemorrhoids. The suppositories may help the pressure symptoms. If they don't alleviate the symptoms then you can stop using them. Grade 3 hemorrhoids respond well to hemorrhoid banding. You should see your primary care physician or a general surgeon.

See recommendations: Sounds like you have grade 3 hemorrhoids. Surgery is the last resort. You should drink plenty of liquids (at least 8 glasses a day), have a high fiber diet (may supplement with metamucil), avoid sedentary lifestyle. You can see a GI doctor, so he can examine you and make sure that you don't have any other problem causing pressure you described.
