What Is A Flesh Colored, Hard Bump Beside The Anal Opening Suggestive Of?
I have bump the size of a marble and as hard as it , beside the opening of my anus. It s flesh colored with a bit of white . It hurts when I stand up from a setting, suddenly move or sneeze and cough. It has been 3 days since it appeared. And if it helps I m a 23 years old girl.
You are suffering from hemorrhoids also known as Piles and the symptoms of bump sticking out from anus along with pain and blood on wiping seems to be due to it. Hemorrhoids are inflamed and swollen veins that are formed when there is continuous irritation of the veins present in the rectum area and inflammation can lead to pain.
Consult a proctologist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and anoscopy can be done for diagnosis. In case if piles is confirmed then you can be advised: - Application of steroid and numbing ointment. - Sitz bath that is sitting in warm water tub especially after bowels. - High fiber diet along with laxatives like Polyethylene glycol and stool softeners like Docusate to maintain proper bowels. - Avoid spicy food and drink plenty of water.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
