Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Rectum
yes please I found a lump about the size of an egg and it seems to sit right above the rectum but I feel it in my abdomen it is hard and it is painful to bend at waist. I had three abdominal surgeries three years ago and I have three fistulas. I have also been running a fever between. 100. and 103.

Hello
lump of the size of a egg is a matter of concern particularly in perianal area
it could be any of following
perianal or ischiorectal abscess
Large hemorrhoids
Rectal polyp
Cancer growth in rectum or anal canal
I would advise you to consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for clonoscopy/ proctoscopy for confirmation of diagnosis
have plenty of fluids
lots of fruits and dietary fiber
avoid constipation by taking liquid paraffin at night
smoking and alcohol to be given up
hope this helps you
