Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/21 - not visited a Doctor - nor taken any medication - small finger like projection at the anal outlet for the last 8 months - no pain, bleeding or other difficulties - linear stool 2 months - thickening inside anus on inserting finger - wants to know what should be done further...
Your history is suggestive that you may have either a sentinel pile with thickening post-fissure in ano which is not symptomatic and cause the narrowing to have linear stool..
Another possibility is having prolapsed thrombosed pile.
The best solution is to consult a General Surgeon or a Proctoogist to have clinical evaluation, actual examination by per-rectal and proctoscopy and decide the cause and have a plan of further treatment as per the findings.
I hope this answers your query, please feel free to ask fr further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
