Developed Hemorrhoid. Swollen, Purplish With Lump Inside The Anus. No Help- From Home Remedies. Suggestions?

hello,
i'm a 27 year old fit female. 5'4 125ibs. About 6 months ago I got a anal fissure and i've had them before and it usually goes away in about a week or two. I developed a hemmoriod around the same time and it started going away like normal (had a couple in the past started about 4 years ago and only had a couple, didn't happen very often). This time it's been an ongoing thing. The hemmoroid issue became more of a problem this time around. It came back after a couple weeks once the fissure started and it was ok for about a week or two but it's never fully gone away. I can be fine for a couple weeks and one bowel movement change makes it come back again. Even though it may not hurt when I go most of the time, it still always looks swollen and still has a purplish like color with a smallish lump right on the inside of the anus. It's been starting to hurt again almost a week ago, feels like another fissure. Most of the time it doesn't hurt but there isn't 2-3 weeks that go by that I actually feel normal. I can usually go normally but one harder stool makes everything come back and I start to feel uncomportable again. I had a doctor check it out about 3 months ago and he felt a lump on the inside and it said it feels like a hemmoriod and looks like similar symptoms around the anus but if it doesnt get better to come back. I always think it's going away and then symptoms come back. I made another apt but they couldn't fit me in for like a month from now. I just wanted to talk about becaue I feel like this is taking over my life. I do everything I can to take care of myself and I ear extremely healthy for my age. There is pretty much nothing I haven't done. I have been on top of doing everything ; sitz bath as much as I can, prep h, tucks wipes, drinking lots of water, using a fiber supplement everyday with a glass of water, taking ducolax once a day(the stool softner), using hem-b-gone off the internet and hem-tab also off the internet. I haeven't seen any blood (knock on wood). I excerise all the time . I'm going crazy and i can't deal with this anymore. PLEASE HELP ME. Thank you so much for you time.

Hi User
Thanks for posting your query on Healthcae Magic
It looks like you are having piles (Hemorrhoids). There are engorged veins filled with blood and one can feel these blood filled veins as lump around anus. Frequently they cause bleeding to that extent to develop anemia (especially if ignored)
Costipation aggravates the problem. Some time piles engorged enormously causes intense pain may result into emergency hospital addmission.
I suggest you to visit surgeon, he will examine the lump and confirm what is it? Piles can be confirmed by clinical examination only
Depending upon stages of pile doctor will offer you the treatment that may be medicines, procedure (banding) or surgical removal.
Hope you find above information helpful. Take care
