Having Bloody, Painful Diarrhea, Is An Itching Lump On My Anus A Hemorrhoid?

Hi ive been extremely stressed out lately and have been having diarrhea for the past few days. Ive seen some blood on the toilet paper and my anus has been sore and itchy. Tonight I put some ointment on it to stop the itching and felt a pea sized lump on my anus. Its moveable and sort of squishy but very tender and painful. Do you think its a hemorrhoid? What is the next step? This has never happened to me before. 20yrs old is this normal?

Hi. don't get panic. It can happen just due to lack of fiber diet and stress. Do you have frequent episodes of constipation followed by diarrohea ? Do you have to strain for stool? if yes, then you are prone for hemorrhoid. As it is a tender lump consult a surgeon to confirm it. It would resolve with steroidal creams. Increase water intake, increase fibers in your diet , exercise and be calm. Don't Worry. have a good day.
