I have no pain from it and there is no blood/mucas
in the stool. Everything I eat has fiber in it...I eat all kinds of fresh fruit, whole grains, vegatables, at least once a day? but i am poor in drinking water,
There is a swelling outside my anus which I can touch (very small in size), and in some cases when I use pads (for menstruation) the size increases and in another times it goes small, the swelling has stayed for couple of years with no pain----but i have a what you call Constipation, and sometimes i do strain

Since last month what typically happens is when I go to the bathroom, after some waste is released i feel somethings blocks the way before the waste totally gets released. I mean where does all the waste go? What should I do?, is it hemorrhoid?
i wish if you recommend me natural methods and a cream i may use to eliminate my problem before going serous

Thank you in advance

Get this checked out right away! It may be nothing, and the doctor can help clear it up, or it could be something more, and caught in the early stages.

Grab a mirror and take a look at it. Does it look like small grapes or a small finger? Sounds like hemmorhoids. (sp?)

Whatever you do dont strain or push when you have a bowel movement, as this can cause the hemmoroid to burst. Hemmeroids, in essence, are just swollen blood vessels. So straining can cause them to burst. And trust me you dont want that.

Try having a warm salty bath, and going to the doctor to get some cream.

If 1 COLACE a day & PREPARATION-H CREAM dont fix/help the problem within 1 week you have no choice but to see a Doctor!!! Colon Cancer is classified as a "Silent Killer"!!

you should ask a doctor about this, for months i ignored what i thought was "just hemorrhoids" and when i was at the dr. for something else decided to ask him about them, turned out i had anal cancer and what i thought was "just hemorrhoids" was a tumor, have it checked out for your own peace of mind.
