Are Hemorrhoids Or Anal Abscess Related With Swollen Anus?
I just noticed a small swollen area on the inside of my anus. It seems like it s filled with something pus or blood like. I ve been messing with it and it s gotten a little bigger. It hurts mainly when I cough or sneeze and when my anus contracts. I had sex the night before with a condom and it was not anal sex, but vaginal. I m concerned what this may be. Is it an std or is it something like a hemorrhoid or anal abscess? Please help

Hello
This swelling may be :
1 Fissure in anus .
2 Hemorrhoids
3 Abscess .
But merely according to this history it is very difficult to establish any diagnosis .
Physical inspection is important , so in my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion.
In my opinion this is not a STD ( protected sex vaginal ) .
Since this is very painful so may be anal fissure .
Good luck.You can use lidocaine cream for local application for pain relief.
