What Is The Treatment For A Lump In The Anus?

When I sit down on the toilet it feels like a very small sack/bump/lump protrudes from my anus. But when I relax or stand up it goes away. I do not have any burning or itching. Once in a great while there might be a little blood on the toilet paper, but I figure it's just because it's winter and my skin is dry and/or I'm wiping too much. Is this bump/lump/sack a normal part of human anatomy, or do I have a problem?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

it is best if you consult with a general surgeon. based from your description, it looks like hemorrhoids. medical and physical examination must be done to ensure that there's no active internal bleeding and it is non-thrombosed. further diagnostic evaluation (such as proctoscopy) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. if you've constipation history, it is also best for you to be on high fiber diet.

hope this helps.

good day!!
