What Does Hard Lump On Edge Of Anus Indicate?

I am 27, I eat really healthy and workout 5days a week. Over the last few days I have noticed discomfort around the edge of my anus. Its been a few days since I first noticed this. And now there is a small hard lump on the edge of my anus I'd say about a 1/2-1" in size. It is an annoying Pain. Not really very painful but yet notice it throughout The day. Just wondering what this could be and if a doctor visit is required.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The lump is most likely a hemorrhoid. Due to increased blood pressure in the veins of this area (workout can cause it), the veins get enlarged. It can cause visible lump attached to the anus verge, pain and itching. Bright red blood on the surface of the stool can also appear.
This condition is not urgent, however it may need surgeon consult. Please note that it wont disappear by itself. Surgery is necessary to get rid of it.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
