Suggest Treatment For Lump Near Anus
Question: Thank you. I have a pea-sized, firm lump located about an inch past my anus, into the rectum. If standing, the lump is facing forward. I have no discomfort nor any bleeding. Possibilities?
Brief Answer:
Polyp or other benign lesion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Can you please attach a photo of it so I can give more precise answer?
Such lump, if not attached to the verge of the rectum, is most likely a polyp or other benign lesion like fibroma,cyst or genital wart. Such type of lumps do not give any pain, bleeding. Usually grow constantly, do not appear suddenly. The color of such lesions is skin like, not vein like.
If your lump fits to this description, there is no reason to concern. However it is good to have it checked by a dermatologist. If its a polyp, should be removed and checked by a pathologist. Other type of lesions can be left alone.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
