Brief Answer: detailed below Detailed Answer: Hello. Thank you for the query. The thing on the picture is a blood clot. Most likely it is caused by hemorrhoid indeed. However other reasons like a polyp should be also ruled out. You should also have hemoglobin level checked. Pleasr consult a surgeon with this issue. Rectal examination should be done at first. Rectoscopy is also necessary. If a hemmorhoids are the reason, surgery should be considered. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
