What Causes A Lump In Rectum?
I have a lump near my rectum that is deep underneath the skin. It has been there for quite some time now, more than six months, and I've never thought anything of it. However, recently it seems larger and closer to the surface of the skin. Today, it touched it and noticed that it had a pink, watery discharge coming out of it. So, I squeezed it, and had a tissue full of this discharge. Should I be concerned? What might this be?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having Fistula in ano giving rise this type of lump.
Another possibility of having some space occupying lesion in ano-rectal region.
You might require ultra sound or colonoscopy to rule out any space occupying lesion.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
