Suggest Remedy For Painful Knot Between Scrotum And Anus
Lipoma / Cyst as the most probable diagnosis, needs a definitive procedure
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of a hard and not-painful knot between the scrotum and anus.
May I please know some details?
- Since when is the swelling present ?
- Is there any redness ?
- Pain on 'pressure' ? (you have written it as not painful- noted).
- What is the size ?
The probable reasons for painless hard swelling in this area is either a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma, although this is the rare site for these.
Other rare possibilities are always there and can be diagnosed on clinical actual examination, investigations or on removal.
Since this is a rare site for any swelling to occur, I would advise you to get a clinical evaluation and actual examination done preferable by a General Surgeon.
This will give the clinical diagnosis and to undergo the investigations as per his findings.
The best way is to get this removed for a few most important reasons.
1. This is removed and you get rid of a disease for ever.
2. You get a definite diagnosis by histo-pathology examination.
I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis, and get a proper further treatment. Please feel free to ask for more or if you need further clarifications or if you feel there is a gap of communication.
I would not call this area swollen. It feels like. A hard knot under the skin
Per rectal examination and an MRI ASAP
