Hello, thanks for reading this, I’m very scared of what this is, I’m not even sure what it is. I have this little bump on the outside of my anal cavity, I don’t know what it is. Its been hurting for a week or 2 I’d say, and I only checked to see what it was a couple of days ago and I’m real scared. I don’t know if its cancer, external hemorrhoids, or what. It does not even hurt that much, not when I sit, not when I #2, not anything really, just direct contact. I don’t want to tell anyone, or a doctor, it is embarassing for them to look there. I don’t have bloody stool, nothing. It’s just there and hurts abit when you put pressure on it. Does anyone know what this is? It’s just a skin-colored bump like not really big…smaller than a marble. ANY help/advice would be great. Such as what it is, if it will heal by itself, or what I should do. Thanks SO much.
Do they got away by themselves?

About a month ago I went to the ER for abdominal pain that turned out to be a kidney infection, urinary tract infection and a kidney stone. While in the ER, I had an enema that injected fluids throughout my rectum. About a week after being in the ER, I noticed blood clot looking things in my blood. Over the next few weeks, there would be blood in my stool every so often, but I was naive and didn’t really realize it was blood until recently. A couple nights ago I looked at my stool and really started noticing blood.

I went to the doctor today and he did a couple tests, one of which he used his fingers to feel around my rectum. I had a blood test done as well. The doctor didn’t have any conclusive diagnosis because he was unable to use a large tool that would allow him to look into the rectum. I am having that done within the next couple days.

My questions are:

Will a colonoscopy have to be completed even if they find out its just hemorrhoids? – My mom had a benign bump on her colon that was found through a colonoscopy and my sister had a colonoscopy done when she had similar symptoms to mine that ended up being hemorrhoids and she was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. If I do have to have a colonoscopy, how long will my down time be?

What is the treatment for hemorrhoids? I’ve never had any before.
Thanks elynne… I have actually had diarrhea for the last month and have had no difficulty with having a bowel movement. I will have to look into the benefiber if that is what it is. I’m not much of a fan of fruits.

I have my very first external hemorrhoid. It is small…sometimes pain. sometimes itching. but that is it. Help how can i make this small bump on the opening of my anus go away?

i have a fairly small bump on my anus and it hurts REALLY bad, i’m in a play and dancing is so pinful! i have 4 more days of the play, but i REALLY want this thing to go away! please give advice on what i should do! i’ve told my parents but they didn’t seem to care nor get help. I don’t know what to do! should i sit in hot water for 20 minutes? should i try the rubber band technique? i have the supplies and what not, but i still don’t know what exactly to do. I really want the pain to stop! it’s an eternal one, not internal, PLEASE give advice!
