I have a painful lump near my anus. What could be the cause?

Question

Hello doctor,

I had a very painful bowel movement three days ago. Today, I was feeling very sore around my anus and found a lump a little bigger than a pea. This looks like a large pimple.

I am very sure lump sort of feels like a large pimple, wanting to know if I just leave it, will it go away? I had no other issues in this area before.

Please help, as it hurts.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Most probably, you have piles which get a lump that protrudes from the anus. It has four grades. The first to the third are medical, and the fourth is surgical. From your history, it is second or third, but it needs a physical examination.

Also, I would like to know if you have hard stools or bloody stools? If yes, you should take a laxative Purgaton (Calcium Sennoside) tablet once or twice before bedtime.

You can also take FAKTU suppositories (Policresulen and Cinchocaine hydrochloride) twice per day. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and with their consent, take the above medicines.

Follow up with the general surgery clinic as required.

I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.
