Not sure it is: Hemorrhoid . In hemorrhoid what you would typically see is blood not discharge . I suggest you see your doc for evaluation and right management . Good luck.

If you: Have indeed hemorrhoids it is normal of course. But to make it sure you have the condition have it checked out with a colorectal surgeon.
