Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

there are certain conditions which lead to such lump

Although the description you have given here seems to be of Piles (Haemorrhoids)

the other relevant pathologies in this region which look like this
are

Anal tags

rectal abscess

genital warts

and some other

Chronic lesions
and
to lesser extent prolapse

you can Use

stool softners and diets high in fibers

Making simple dietary changes and not straining on the toilet are often recommended first

Rest of the treatment is dependant upon the the type & location of such
lumps as in case of haemorrhoids , the treating physician looks for the dentate line (This is a line in the anal canal that separates the areas where the nerves can and can't transmit pain messages.) and Plans the treatment accordingly.

you need to visit your Gp for its evaluation and timely diagnosis &
Treatment

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
