There is a lump in anal area with itchiness and heaviness. Please help.

Question

Hi doctor,

One year ago due to excessive consumption of turmeric and ginger juice, a lot of blood like water came from my anal opening. It was treated but after that, I faced a lot of problems in my anal area. There is a lump created in my anal area and also sometimes I feel a lot of itchiness, heaviness and rarely pain in my anal area. I consulted with many doctors but I was not able to get a proper satisfactory treatment from them. I am very confused and tensed. Please help me. Currently, I am taking constipation relief powder and Lignocaine hydrochloride gel.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concerns. There are three possible causes:

Anal fissure: Injury in the mucosal lining of anal canal due to constipation associated with blood streaks on toilet paper and painful defecation. Pain lasts for few hours after the defecations.
Hemorrhoids (internal): Lump comes from inside the anal canal due to constipation and congested vessels associated with blood in stools.
Hemorrhoids (external): Lump around the anal opening due to congested vessels, it Is very painful but not associated with bleeding.

I suggest you send me a photo of the lump and give me more details about the pain you feel. We can discuss management after confirming the diagnosis.
