hemorrhoid

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Lump near the anus is most likely a hemorrhoid. If hemorrhoid gets inflammated, causes pain. You may also have itching and trace of blood on the stool. If you have strong pain when passing the stool, rectal fissure is also possible.
Parasites are less possible.
Please do not feel embarassed about it. Consult a surgeon. Most like you will need some hemorrhoids suppositories and diet improvement.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.

Regards
