Sorry for the gross question but I'm in a small panic over anal cancer.
About 2 weeks ago I was feeling a bit uncomfortable there so I had a feel around that area but I also inserted my finger a bit too, not too much though. I know this sounds gross but I was in a bad way. I definitely felt something up in there, it was round and smooth and not hard.
I went to my doctor last week but she only had a look at that area, didn't give me an internal. She said I did have piles, presumably on the outside, and gave me cream for them.
I'm just worried that she didn't feel what I felt. Is it likely it was an internal pile I felt? I just think I remember reading somewhere that internal piles cannot be felt during an internal exam, so I'm a bit scared as to what I felt.
Surely if a person has internal piles then they can be felt with a finger?
Has anyone had internal piles diagnosed by just an internal exam? Not having a scope or any other kind of procedure?
Can't believe I'm writing this but that's HA for you!!!
