What Does A Bulge In Anus Indicate?

I have been having a very strange pressure/bulging sensation in my anus; usually when I first wake in the morning. I am not constipated and it s not really painful just bothersome. It sometimes feels as if something may be crawling or moving. Could I possibly have a parasite? I am currently on vacation in the Dominican Republic where water is not potable (but I still shower in it). I have been in the ocean often as well. Thank you.

Hello Ma'am
I really appreciate your concern
You need not to worry, Looking at your description it seems to be a treatable condition and you will be alright once you start treatment after consulting doctor.

In my opinion this could be hemorrhoids, anal skin fold or infected anal gland.
Another possibility is fissure in anus or a rectal polyp

I would like further information like
your age and relevant medical history
since how long you have this problem
Since I can't physically examine you to get more clues so I would advise you to consult doctor for stool test for ova, cyst or protozoa and clinical examination

I would advise you to avoid constipation by taking laxatives or stool softening agents like liquid paraffin or lactulose
Sitz bath twice daily
lignocaine ointment to be applied locally to relieve pain

Hope this helps you
best wishes
