Can You Have Hemroids Without Them Being Painful and No Bleeding at All, or Is It Something Else?

By admin

I’m not sure if what I have is hemroids or if they are something else. I got them while I was pregnant with my son 2 1/2 yrs ago and it started off like really small loose skin around my anus, they haven’t been painfull at all, and there has been no bleeding. Now over 2 1/2 yr period they have gotten slightly bigger. It is just like extra loose lumpy skin. I can touch, squeeze, etc and there is absolutely no pain at all. So are these hemroids or something else? I started getting it while I was pregnant, and I still have it 2 1/2 yrs later and I am now pregnant again, I want to ask my ob doctor about it, but it is kind of embarassing to bring it up.

These are not haemorrhoids. These are nothing but the skin tag at the anal verge. These are due to chronic anal fissure. Anal fissure is nothing but a small break in the skin of the anus which is as a result of chronic constipation and then straining at stools. They will heal by themselves. But sometimes leave behind a small skin tag. This skin tag is called as a sentinel pile. Here the word pile is a misnomer. Because it is only a skin tag and unlike the usual pile does not bleed. It gives you the wrong connotation because of this misnomer (that it may bleed). If it is irritating or itching or getting swollen or giving you trouble otherwise, you have it excised as an office procedure at your surgeons clinic. Your complaint does not fall under the speciality of Obstetrics but under general surgery. Have it checked.
