I'm noticing that a small, round thing comes out of my anus. There's no pain or bleeding, but I'm worried about what this might be. It seems to happen when I have to push during a bowel movement. Can you help me understand what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can protrude outside the anus. To help with this issue, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream or Tucks pads. Make sure to also increase your fiber intake, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
