How Can An Anus Hemorrhoid Causing Pressure And Discomfort Be Treated?
I have a Hemorrhoid about the size of a marble that appeared yesterday.
It's mostly external, but I feel pressure from it and it's uncomfortable.
I've had a smaller pea size Hemorrhoid in that spot before. Metamucil is
a regular part of my diet. I got off my program I guess. I had a colonoscopy
a week a ago and everything was fine and my dr. examined my anus and at that time
I got 100% clean bill of health. This just cropped up! Can this hemorrhoid burst
and what should I do to relieve the size of this big Hemorrhoid?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If this is hemorrhoid, then get done the surgery and it is the only option you have for curing this condition. Hemorrhoid will not burst but may cause other complications like bleeding, swelling, infection formation of fistula and other. So it is most advisable to get the surgery done. Medical treatment may not cure the disease but can only give temporary relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
