I've discovered a problem with my nether regions and am quite concerned as no websites seem to confirm what is wrong with me...

Basically, about a month ago, after a bowel movement i'd immediatley felt the need to go again...despite trying to "push" nothing happened...

now here we are a few weeks later and its continued so i decided to squat over a mirror and take a look.

What i could see was like 4 or 5 small white lumps - very hard to describe exactly but they looked a little like strands of cauliflower...
they cause no pain or discomfort to touch...

My question is, do they sound like piles ? I havent seen anywhere online saying you can have white ones - all the images i have seen show them to be normal skin coloured..

I also have a swallen glad on the side of my neck which has been there for about 4 months (although it is getting smaller)

I have made an appointment with Doctor to get this checked but that isnt until a couple of weeks...

Can anyone out there provide any more information on the possible causes or what i can do to check what this might be ?

Hemorrhoids

About half of the people in the U.S. will suffer from hemorrhoids at some point in life; for most, this will happen between ages 20 and 50. Researchers are not certain what causes hemorrhoids. "Weak" veins -- leading to hemorrhoids and other varicose veins -- may be inherited. It's likely that extreme abdominal pressure causes the veins to swell and become susceptible to irritation.
