Is it possible to get hemorrhoids from Diarrhea? I have white bumps on outside of anus. Does it require a surgery to remove? I am taking neoHealar.

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Hemorrhoids do not just occur as a consequence of diarrhea, but they definitely get irritated, swollen and painful due to diarrhea because of frequent passage of bowel movement. Regarding the white bumps you are describing around the anal area, you need to make sure these are actual hemorrhoids, and not something else, such as ulcers. As such, you should consult a surgeon and get a proper examination of these lesions. Treatment may be conservative with topical ointments; surgery is an option for more severe cases, depending on your condition.
