Hemorrhoids are typically not hard; they are swollen blood vessels located in the rectal area that can be either internal or external. Internal hemorrhoids are usually not palpable, while external hemorrhoids may feel like soft lumps under the skin around the anus. They can become painful or uncomfortable, especially if they are thrombosed (clotted). If you have concerns about hemorrhoids, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
