Re: Anal cancer worries
I think what you are feeling/seeing is indeed hemorrhoids plus they can be very painful. You may also have an anal fissure into the bargain. A friend of mine had bad hemorrhoids and ended up with anemia because of blood loss. She put up with hers for years then had an operation to get rid of them.
If you wipe a lot you can cause tears around the anal skin. You may need to use some lubricant to wipe before using a wet wipe. Then use some cream on the area. I get this if I get diarrhea.
Make an appointment to see your Dr next week, then he/she will give you some ointment/pessaries to use.
In the meantime drink lots of water, take a stool softener and try not to worry. Take care x
