Blood in the stool with clots in the anus after giving birth, is it hemorrhoids?

Question
Hello doctor,
I just gave birth normally for 3 months. And I was constipated and had bleeding for a while. About 3 weeks ago I saw no more bleeding but still pain and today I found a lump in the anus. When it finished going to the toilet, it retracted on its own. May I ask if the blood in the stool with anal clot after giving birth is hemorrhoids? So is it possible to apply medicine or self-treat at home? Thank you very much.

Hello,
With the question “Is blood in the stool with clots in the anus after giving birth, is it hemorrhoids? ", the doctor answered as follows:
As you said, you most likely have hemorrhoids grade II-III. However, the doctor still recommends that you go to the doctor to determine the exact condition of the disease (the lump in the anus that you describe can also be polyps, lumps, ...). With hemorrhoids at this stage, there are many treatment options available to you.
If you still have questions about blood in stools with anal clots after giving birth, are you hemorrhoids, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
