a swollen bump accord out of no where sort of the side wall of my anus. it is about the size of a pistachio nut, sort of hard, there is no bleeding or itching. i have a great diet of brown rice, i keep very clean, no problems with BM, and i am in great physical shape. all i can think is that i may have strained the side wall when i was douching three days ago...i am putting ice on it . i dont know what it is really, i havent had hemorroids for many many years. i am trying to get in to see my doctor today.
