Wrong: At your age I would not assume hemorrhoids.The more common issue would be an anal fissure that often arises after a bulky or lumpy stool passes. It may or may not hurt at the time or while healing, They also can heal with a knot like lump during their initial healing phase. Keep your diet so your stools are soft & this should heal over time.
