What Is The Pea Sized Lump Near The Anus?

I have noticed a small pea sized lump near my anus, it very sore to touch. I do suffer with piles but normally I can push them back, but this seems different. It wont push back. I have been 4 times this morning to the toilet, which is a little unususal. Thanks Carol

Hi, happy to help you on your health concern!

Well, as per your description, this might well be an internal hemorrhoids or piles getting recently engorged, ulcerated and infected! However, it could be some infected rectal polyp or an abscess also!

Take caution not to get injured there as this might invite more serious infection.

Moreover, you should do a stool examination and and thereafter get examined by a surgeon / gastroenterologist or revert back to us.

Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.

Wishing you the best health!
