Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have a lump on my anus and recently, it has become larger. I am worried about it.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Having a lump on the anus suddenly indicates a benign condition. You need to consult a doctor for having an examination. It seems like an anal venous thrombosis. There is nothing to be worried. If this diagnosis is confirmed by consulting a doctor, then you need to wait until they vanish as they appeared suddenly. The main reason for having it is due to much pressure produced while using bathroom. Thank you.

Investigations to be done
