What Could Cause Painful Anal Lump?

hello,
i seem to have a lump in my anus that is very painful, mobile and spasmic ie the pain gets worse when the lump moves and my splincter spasms. it began two days ago but got intense today and i am rather miserable because of it. please can you say what you think about it. i have differentials but i cannot be quite sure exactly as it has never happened to me before. it is particularly worrying because it is preventing me from studying for my exams( not usmle, yet). thanks.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Differential diagnosis includes inflammatory lump / hemorrhoid .
* In regard with pain intensity inflammation is more likely.
* Bleeding in stool & its consistency are very vital which you have not
mentioned herewith.
* Take following necessary precautions & then consult a Surgeon for
Proctoscopy examination for final diagnosis & management.
- avoid all oily / spicy / nonveg stuffs .
- have light diet rich in greens with plenty of liquids to have soft stools .
- avoid stress / anxiety .
- sitting in Sitz bath ( sitting in tub filled with leukwarm water for 10-10
min. 2-3 times a day specifically after passing stool ) helps .
- apply Xylocaine (2%) jelly over affected are for sooting effect.
Hope this clears your doubtss .
