Had A Stinging And Pain On Anus. Better After Using Preparation H And Sitz Bath. Had Lump And Fissures With Blood

Thank you for contacting XXXXXXX with your concern.
From your description of pain and the fact that you are
able to feel a lump , points to a condition called "Thrombosed
Hemorrhoids " . In other words , these are a bunch of blood
vessels or veins which get blocked by clots. This causes severe
pain in the rectal area and especially with a hard stool and straining,
could give you problems. These may include bleeding , infection etc.
You mention some relief with rectal cream or ointment and sitz baths.
You are doing the right thing. You can take stool softener daily.
If the steps you are taking are not helping, it is time for you
to make an appointment with a proctologist or a gastroenterologist.
You may need a sigmoidoscopy and treatment of hemorrhoids by
laser or banding.
As to your concern about cancer , at your young age colon cancer
is extremely rare . Only certain familial types of cancers can occur
if you have a very strong family history. I would not worry about that.
I wish you the very best.
