purple lumps you are telling is hemorrhoid which are not going to shrink totally, it will be remaining in remission so far as time is concerned
more you are away from your diet control or constipation episodes with hard stools soon you will notice purple bumps in form of hemorrhoid

Thrombosed clots never reabsorb?
Brief Answer:
your hemorrhoid doesn't seem thrombosed clot at present.
Detailed Answer:
Respected XXXX, Hi, welcome,
* Hemorrhoid is soft tissue bulging with swollen veins in the lower part of anus
and rectum, when the walls of these vessels are stretched, they become
irritated.
* What you are telling does not seem to be thrombosed clot at present (which
occurs at the site of any injury or bleeding ) & it gets reabsorbed in circulation when venous.
* There is one entity called thrombosed hemorrhoids which is 3rd-degree type
severe discomfort, difficulty in sitting ( which you are not having at present).
* Salient guidelines for you:
- As any hemorrhoid is never going to shrink at all for rest of life, certain
precautions are to be taken for keeping it under control so far as possible :
- always try to have soft stools by managing to take plenty of liquids, green
leafy vegetables, fiber , organic fruits , cereals , pulses, legumes , curd etc.
- avoid all oily / spicy / non vegetarian stuffs / beverages / cheese / excess
ghee / junk foods till possible .
- avoid smoking/alcohol / any abuse substances if at all do.
- avoid stress/anxiety
- avoid straining when using toilet & go when needed don't wait.
- keep body weight under control.
- regular Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water 10-10 minutes
morning & evening & especially after passing stools ) help a lot.
- Local application of Xylocaine (5%) jelly whatever brand is available at
chemist keep the part smooth.
- avoid tight undergarments/jeans.
- avoid any anal sexual activities ( if at all doing ).
- most towelettes better ( dry toilet paper may aggravate problem )
- analgesics if pain & discomfort.
- avoid heavy weight lifting.
- avoid prolonged driving / sitting on hard surfaces.
- avoid exposure to excess heat.
- keep ambulatory, regular walking, light exercises at home with YOGA help
- consult Surgeon immediately if a noticeable increase in the size of lump/bleeding
lump not going inside / severe pain / discomfort / itching / discharge of any
type / severe constipation or diarrhea .
