What Causes A Cyst On Rectum?
Question: I just noticed today after my shower that I have a cyst or a growth by my rectum
Brief Answer:
Can be lipoma or sebaceous cyst.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A cyst by the rectum is likely to be a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst. It can be diagnosed after a direct examination by a gynecologist.
In case it is gradually increasing in size or painful then an infection may be there. In that case removal or oral antibiotics may be needed to control the infection. Till then you can do hot compress in the area and take a mild pain killer for relief.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
