Is this normal?

I have hemorrhoids and they’ve just recently started acting up again, and after I pooped there was blood on my toilet paper when I wiped (which happens a good amount of times) but it’s been like 3-4 hours (and I’ve also showered since I last pooped) and when I went to the bathroom, there was blood on my toilet paper again. I’m not on my period, btw. Is it normal for them to be bleeding even though I haven’t been to the bathroom in hours? Or is it a possibility that I somehow irritated them when I showered or something and caused it to bleed?
