What Does A Lump Around The Anus Indicate?
I noticed a lump that is tender to touch around part of my anus and leading towards my vagina. It s about the size of a AA battery if not a little bigger. I made a dr appt with a Gastroenterologist but wondering if you have suggestion on what it could be and what type of dr I should see.

Hello,
Most probably it could be a perianal abscess.
Consult a general surgeon and get it drained.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
