Prostate enlargement or hemorrhoid?
I am 22 years old, male. Lately, I have been having a feeling that my prostate (or something in the area) is enlarged. I notice this the most when sitting down, or even lying down. I have recently had urine tests done, all which have come back negative. I know that I have external hemorrhoids, so I am wondering if what I am feeling is an internal hemorrhoid. I have had slight difficulty urinating, as well as difficulty keeping an erection (usually not a problem). I have pain in my urethra, NOT during urination but usually while sitting around. Is it possible for a hemorrhoid to affect the prostate? Thanks for any help.

well maybe you should have surgery done on the external hemorrhoid. But if that area is itchy, or you see rectal bleeding then it could be an internal hemorrhoid. But i doubt one can have both types simultaneously
Any bleeding or pain coming from the anus should be checked by a professional to rule out more serious conditions.
Bleeding and/or pain from the anal channel does not only relate to hemorrhoids or piles it can also be caused by much more serious conditions such as cancer or polyps (small growths in the anal channel).
Medical professionals can do an examination of the rectum through a tube. The procedure is known as proctoscopy and is absolutely necessary to rule out cancer or polyps.
I would reccomend that you do not fool around with this. Go and see a doctor as soon as possible. If it turns out that you do have hemorrhoids you will find some very helpful advice on the site below and a free report to find out:
