Suddenly... Hemorrhoids? HUH?
**Sorry, this is probably going to be gross**
19/f So, literally yesterday I took a shower before work, all was well. I woke up this morning around 5am to pee. I wipe after and feel something weird around my anus. At first I thought the toilet paper crumbled around there or something, so I wiped again, and it was still there. I felt down with my finger and there it was, a sack/lump-type thing right next to/below my anus. It's bigger and kinda loose. I felt more and there's a smaller bump right above too, only that one's smaller, more curricular, and RIGHT above the entrance. I was dazed and confused. I was totally fine yesterday. I was totally fine in the morning too, they aren't painful at all. Though when I kept feeling the bigger one, I got a bunch of clear pus on my fingers.
I've never had hemorrhoids before, so I'm quite confused. Do they normally show up that fast, or can they? Multiple? Can they be painless? I read up on the causes this morning, and it kinda makes sense that I would have them, but still. So quickly? And I always hear about how merciless they are in the pain department, but no pain, no blood in my stool. I told my mom, and she's a bit confused too, but she's just assuming they're hemorrhoids and is getting me some cream today. But I for one am concerned. XD
Any advice/help would be enormouslyyy appreciated.

Is it possible you have Hemorrhoids? Yes, should you be concerned? That is a yes and no answer. Since you are concerned then seeing a doctor is the best thing to do.
It is not necessary to have hemorrhoids removed and most doctors do not suggest it unless they cause problems. Those problems would include trouble with bowel movements and bleeding, without having a bowel movement. Bleeding after a bowel movement is or could be normal and usually is only a little.
Hemorrhoids are almost never cancerous or infected. It is best though to have them checked by your doctor when they first appear. Then the doctor will keep a check on them during your annual physical.

I researched on line. It seems that hemorroids are more like swellings without pus. There are pus related issues that are supposedly more painful than hemorroids according to on line drs. Most the online drs answering similar questions all referred the person to go see their dr.
To be 100% sure its not something potentially life threatening as with the pus fistulas and such, its best to see someone in person, not rely on guesses.
Since you have no pain associated with your situation, either its just starting or it wasn't actually pus. I can't say its possible but water blisters or sweat related blisters comes to mind.
The pus related problem would keep producing real pus because of bacteria that got into glands. Heres a link to what some drs. answered others and its also a place you can post your question and get some answers from a dr.
