I have a small lump on the outside of my anus that has popped up over night. It only causes slight discomfort. I had a heavy, heavy night of drinking the night before this small lump popped up, could this have caused it? I’m a little too embarrassed to see a doctor.

Simply wondering if one should take a cold/colder or a warm/warmer sitz bath to relieve hemorrhoids? What else can be done to get rid of them? It’s an external hemorrhoid as far as I can tell so and I’ve had it for just over a week. It started with a small amount of pain but, now it’s not a nuisance (no pain) at all, just very unsightly…at least in terms of how sightly an anus can be. Any suggestion on what I can do to get rid of it would be wonderful! Thanks,

This is very embarrassing to talk about, but I really need to know what it is so I can relax and stop stressing. I’ve noticed while using the bathroom, that I have a lump around the opening of my anus. It seems like it’s external but it can go inside as well but it comes out a bit. I’m not sure if I’m describing this right, lol. It’s about the size of a pea or smaller, isn’t hard, and isn’t tender or sore to the touch. The colour is red, in some light it looks a wee bit purplish but it may just be my lighting, it basically looks red. I am experiencing no discomfort or itchiness at all, it’s just a lump there. I was wondering what this may be? I am a very clean person, I wash my vaginal and anus area each time I use the bathroom, I consume a lot of fiber in my diet, I drink a lot of fluids. This appeared a few days ago and it is really worrying me. I have been using Triamcinolone cream on it today that I have in hopes that it will reduce the swelling and rid me of the problem. I am only 18 years old, I’m not sure if it is hemorrhoids, or if it’s something else, or something that will disappear within a few days and not show up again (would be nice if it didn’t). I’m currently trying to make sure I lay on my left side instead of sitting, and I try to get up and walk around in case it is an external hemorrhoid. Can anyone help? I’m willing to provide more details if needed. Please and thank you!
Oh, I do tend to eat a lot of spices and have been consuming them a lot over the past month.

i am 17 when i pass stool my anus becomes puffy around the rim but i do not have any other symptoms of hemorrhoids such as pain itching bleeding mucus and so forth is it common to get hemorrhoids without these other symptoms or could this be something else thankyou

I just noticed it today. And I also started having diarrhea today (from eating something bad I think). It’s not that painful, but it’s pretty big. About the size of a marble. It is right under my anus, between the vagina and my anus. My stomach is still acting up, so I have a feeling it will stay for a while. There’s no pus, and I don’t have bloody stool.
So my questions are: Is it an external hemorrhoid? Is there a nice, natural way to cure it? My period just started as well, so is it okay to use tampons?
