Specializes in Psychiatry

Hello. : Hello. There can be a number of possible causes like internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, an anal fissure or a fistula. I don't know if you have another polyp. What is very important is that you be evaluated by a general surgeon to determine the cause and to see if any treatment is required. Take care.
