Hello
I appreciate your concern
This could be hemorrhoids or a rectal polyp
in my opinion you should consult a general surgeon or a proctologist for per rectal examination and proctoscopy if need be
Meanwhile please follow these guidelines
Avoid straining at still
You can take liquid paraffin or lactulose to avoid constipation
Have plenty of dietary fibers and lots of fluids
maintain good hygiene
sitz bath or hot water bath is advisable
thanks for your question
Best wishes
