Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice?
in Health ·
Hey, I'm 32. Looking for some insight if anyone here deals with something similar. Basically, out of nowhere, I get this sharp pain in my anus—it feels just like that cramping you get when a kid is constipated and their backside starts aching. It lasts for a few minutes and then just vanishes. During the episode, I head to the restroom, pass something tiny, and once it's over, the pain stops immediately. This only happens rarely, maybe once or twice a year. I actually saw a specialist who did a digital rectal exam, but he didn't find anything unusual. Could this be symptoms of internal hemorrhoids? Also, can a finger exam actually detect anal cancer or whatever else a physical exam is supposed to catch?
