Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
The commonest cause of such a mobile lump within the anal canal or rectum can be a polyp.
This can best be diagnosed by a per-rectal examination and ano-proctoscopy done by a General Surgeon or a proctologist and thus you should take a reference for such a Specialist who can diagnosed and treat well.
I hope there are no other symptoms as you have not mentioned any.
