Hi,

Lump below anus might have come after prolonged constipation. Constipation might be related to faulty food habits and sedentary lifestyle. I would advise you to follow these guidelines to avoid constipation:

1. Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and dietary fiber supplement like ishabgol husk in your diet

2. Have lots of fluids orally

3. Laxatives like liquid paraffin or lactulose is advisable in case of chronic constipation.

I would advise you to apply lignocaine ointment for lump below the anus. Sitz bath will definitely help you which you can take by keeping your rear end in bathtub filled with lukewarm water.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask for follow up question and I will gladly answer you.

Best wishes,
Dr. B R Hudda
