Suggest Treatment For Lump Near The Anal Opening

Hi, I have noticed that I have an oval lump immediately north of my a-hole. It s located inside and feels pretty firm, doesn t move, it only hurts when I push/prod it and seems more to do with pressure applied. It s texture from the outside is almost muscle like. Otherwise I have no bleeding or pain or issues passing, I m in normal health (so far as I know). What could it be?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of piles or fissures is more.
So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of anal canal for the diagnosis of this lump.
If it is piles or fissures, you need to avoid constipation. So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Keep proper hygiene and avoid moisture and perspiration in that area. Sit 5-6 times in warm water.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
