Suggest Treatment For Painless Perianal Hematoma
Question: I think I have a perianal hematoma, but the research i've done on it says that its supposed to be painful when sitting or walking. I definitely don't feel any pain as i can barely feel it when I sit or walk. It's filled with fluid. What could it be?
Brief Answer:
Most probable pile / hemorrhoid
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Yes, the perianal hematoma is painful and rare to occur.
If there is a lump, which you feel like filled with fluid there is more possibility of this being a pile also called as hemorrhoid.
This is always painless unless thrombosis occurs or is prolapsed and entrapped to cause sudden swelling and thrombosis and / or infection.
I would advise you to consult a Surgeon to get this examined by per-rectal examination and ano-proctoscopy to get the correct diagnosis, and a plan for treatment.
Till then :
Take full diet high in fibers.
Sitz bath- in a tub with warm water.
Mild Laxative if you have constipation.
Do not apply anything locally.
I hope, this answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask for more if you need to, or if you feel there is gap-of-communication.
