How can I manage lumps near my rectum?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 24-year-old female. I have lumps near my rectum. Initially, there were two, but now there are three. As a result, I am having pain after bowel movements. In addition, there is blood discharge at times during defecation. I also suffer from constipation and have had this problem for one to two years.

Can I use any laxatives or stool softeners for this condition?

Please prescribe medications for pain, as it is intolerable after defecation.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From your description, you appear to be suffering from an anal fissure. However, confirmation of diagnosis will require an examination of the area. So I suggest you consult a local general surgeon to examine the condition directly. Until that time, I suggest you follow these measures.

1. Drink plenty of liquids and water.

2. Have a full plate of salad every day.

3. Include fiber-rich foods like beans, whole grains, nuts, berries, and apples in your diet.

I am assuming that you do not have any other diseases. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, effective medication can be prescribed to you. So, follow up or consult a local general surgeon as early as possible for a proper diagnosis.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
