Wiping at least 3 to 4times a day

Hi Stan, Welcome to the "OLD AGE" Club. I'm 58 and was in very good shape/health too. Then Father Time slowly but surely made his appearance. If this is making you depressed, put it off until you get your diagnosis. Not worth getting bent out of shape over something small if it is. That will help because there is a lot of even more serious stuff that can creep into your life unless you are lucky. Believe me, hemorrhoids are nothing in comparison. It was when I hit 50 when my medical file started to significantly increase exponentially. So grab the reins and hang on! Just try to stay positive or it will just make things worse for you. Good luck.
