Suggest Treatment For An Infection In The Anus

Recently I've noticed that I have a pinkish brown, bubbly looking thing hanging about 1/2 an inch out my anus. I've never had anal sex before and sometimes when I poop there's blood, but it doesn't hurt or anything. Its just there. Can you please tell me what it is ?

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Its a disease called hemorrhoids or piles. It has a defined reason of portal hypertension behind it. The hanging mass that is pinkish brown is actually the dilated and tortuous veins. They sometimes bleed.

The treatment of hemorrhoids depends and starts with demarcation of the degree of hemorrhoids. You may have first degree second or third degree depending on severity of disease. All have different treatment options. A general Surgeon will define the degree of hemorrhoids by examining you in his clinic with a proctoscope. You need to consult a General Surgeon for the same.

Avoid constipation as it may cause bleeding on straining on defecation. Take plenty of fluids and high fiber diet, fresh fruits, vegetables and salads. Avoid sodas and fast food. No caffeinated drinks and energy drinks.
