You have to get it scoped. I thought I had a hemroids, I had the same syptoms and only after a colonostormy. They found a mass above my rectum. So have it check out all the way. Good Luck
Yes the tests are uncomfortable, but you could have abscess or internal hemroids. No waying of knowing until you are examined.
If it is an abscess & you don't get it taken care of there is a chance it will turn into a fistula & then it will be an uphill battle to cure it...
I have dealth with abscess/fistula for now 3 yrs....NOT ANY FUN, so please go get it checked out..
