I don't know it sounds like piles to me but I'm no doctor.olly_whinnett said:What are the odds of it actually being cancer? Is this extremely unlikely?
olly_whinnett said:I don't feel comfortable with the doctor putting his finger up my backside. Is there any other way of him being able to tell whether it is a tumour or not or do I have no choice?

docel said:It could be simple piles/ Haemorhoids and it is splitting occassionally, mostly due to constipation. Also aggravated during severe cough, sneezing etc.,
The veins in the rectum get tortuous(cf Varicose Veins), inflammed and burst due to external pressure of defeacation (about 20PSI average, 5psi normal and upto 40PSI in constipation( equal to a mini truck tyre pressure) ).
Best see a doctor and be done with the examination. The Finger up is quite painlessas they do with local anaesthetic paste. (Proctoscopy) Will also be done visually via an interesting Fiber-optic proctoscope, which is electronics and may be on-topic!
If the inflammed veins burst , fresh blood will be voided in the stools. The complication is more unpleasant than the examination. The cure , too, is fairly simple, so please see a surgeon.
