Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking!
I appreciate the privacy but i want to reassure you that the doctors are the lockers of their patient's secrets and only patient's will works up as a key to open them.
SO stop feeling embarrassed and seek help.
Now the lump around anus is either haemorrhoid or a prolapse Depending on its circumference. If lump is all around anus then it is prolapse. if it is somewhere around anus like at 3 o'clock, 7 o'clock etc, then it is a haemorrhoid.
Associated anal fissure can not be ruled out too as tenderness is usually associated with that.
it is grade 3 haemorrhoid at least and it needs surgical correction or in case of a prolapse it needs surgery too. Get to a general surgeon and let them take care of you.You are not alone in this. Every five amongst hundred person has haemorrhoid s and all of them seek doctor and let them take care of them. So stop worrying and seek help and let them help you with it.
I hope it helps.Take good care and dont forget to close the discussion please.
