What Does A Lump In The Anus Indicate?

There is something on my anus, I m nervous it may be a tick. Unfortunately, I can t see it, but I feel it. It feels like a lump, and if I squeeze it, I feel a pop, and there s a small amount of blood, I ve tried to pull on it slowly, but nothing comes but blood. I can t afford a hospital trip, so I hope it ends up being something I can stop messing with and it will go away. However, it is starting to drive me crazy...

What you could be having is an anal polyp. Some are pedunculated, some are not. It can cause bleeding, especially with constipation. It is best to get it excised and send it for an histpathological examination.
